Alcaraz, winner of the American Grandslam tournament in 2022, was placed second. Djokovic won the US Open four times before and was placed in New York seventh. The Serbian is just hunting for his 25th grand slam title, with which he only gets the record in his hands.

Djokovic won five of the previous eight games against Alcaraz, but in this match he immediately lost his first storage. He could no longer make up for that backlog in the first set, so Alcaraz used his first setpoint.
In the second set, the Serbian ran out to 3-0, but Alcaraz rang the right again. In the tiebreak, the Spaniard took a slight lead and immediately increased with two good services.

Djokovic lost his storage on 2-1 in the third set and was also unable to force break chances on the service of Alcaraz. The Spaniard received his first match point and used that due to an error from the Serbian on the storage of Djokovic after 2 hours and 25 minutes.

In the final, Alcaraz will find the winner of the party between the first-placed Italian Jannik Sinner and the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime. Earlier this year, Alcaraz and Sinner faced each other in the finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The Spaniard won in Paris, the Italian in London.
