**Alcaraz Dominates US Open, Sabalenka Advances as Djokovic Eyes Semifinals**

NEW YORK – Carlos Alcaraz stormed into the US Open semifinals on Tuesday, delivering a dazzling performance against Jiri Lehecka with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory. The Spanish sensation remains undefeated in sets at the tournament and is now one step closer to a potential showdown with Novak Djokovic.

Alcaraz’s electrifying play, witnessed by celebrities like singer Rosalía and golfer Sergio García, was too much for Lehecka. Alcaraz, currently ranked number two in the world, is riding a wave of success, with 44 wins in his last 46 matches and five titles during that span. Should he win his second US Open title, and sixth Grand Slam title, Alcaraz would reclaim the ATP number one ranking from Jannik Sinner.

Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the semifinals without playing a match after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew due to a knee injury sustained during warm-up. Sabalenka will now face Jessica Pegula, a rematch of last year’s final, which Sabalenka won. Pegula reached the semifinals by defeating Barbora Krejcíková in straight sets.

Novak Djokovic faced Taylor Fritz in the late match, aiming to continue his quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title. The Serbian star is looking to complete a full set of Grand Slam semifinal appearances for the season, after reaching that stage in the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon.

On Wednesday, Jannik Sinner will face Lorenzo Musetti, while Alex de Miñaur will play Felix Auger-Aliassime for a place in the semifinals. In the women’s draw, Karolína Muchová will take on Naomi Osaka, and Iga Swiatek will face Amanda Anisimova in a rematch of their Wimbledon final.

This is the last Grand Slam event of the season.
