Alcaraz vs. Djokovic: Clash of Titans at the US Open
The Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz is preparing for a crucial match against Novak Djokovic in the US Open semifinals. The match, which will be held this Friday, represents an opportunity for Alcaraz to seek revenge after the defeat suffered against the Serbian in the Paris Olympics. Alcaraz, with two victories over Djokovic in Wimbledon finals, will seek to impose his game on the hard court of New York.The history between both players favors Djokovic, with five victories against Alcaraz’s three. However, the last time they faced each other on a fast court was in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, with Djokovic taking the victory. Djokovic, in search of his 25th Grand Slam, arrives at this semifinal with the ambition of expanding his legacy in tennis. At 38 years old, the Serbian seeks one of his last opportunities to establish himself as the tennis player with the most Grand Slam titles in history. Djokovic has had a path with some challenges in this 2025, with mixed results in the Grand Slam tournaments. His physical ailments and fatigue could be a factor in this match, while Alcaraz has shown an exceptional level of play.“We all know Novak. He is playing great matches here. I know very well that he comes hungry and with a lot of ambition. I want a rematch,” Alcaraz assured after sealing his pass to the semifinals against the Czech Jiri Lehecka.

Alcaraz, for his part, has shown a dominant performance in the tournament, with an improved serve and few breaks received. His level of play suggests a possible final against Jannik Sinner, where the world number 1 would also be at stake. Alcaraz has had a successful 2025, with more victories and titles than any other tennis player. His preparation includes a golf routine to keep his body and mind in optimal condition. The match between Alcaraz and Djokovic is scheduled for 3:00 PM local time in New York.“Truthfully, I’m not quite sure how the body is going to feel in the coming days,” Djokovic said after his quarterfinal match against American Taylor Fritz. “Right now I don’t feel very fresh, but I hope it will be different in a couple of days,” he admitted.
