**Alcaraz Dominates Djokovic, Advances to U.S. Open Final**

**NEW YORK, September 6, 2025** – Carlos Alcaraz delivered a stunning performance at the U.S. Open yesterday, overpowering Novak Djokovic in straight sets to secure his place in the final. The Spanish second seed defeated the 38-year-old Serbian 6-4, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2, ending Djokovic’s quest for a record 25th Grand Slam singles title.

Alcaraz, who has yet to drop a set in the tournament, dictated the pace from the start, breaking Djokovic early in the first set and maintaining his advantage. While Djokovic attempted a comeback in the second set, taking a 3-0 lead, Alcaraz swiftly broke back and dominated the tiebreak. He then cruised to victory in the third set, avenging his loss to Djokovic in last year’s Olympic final.

“I played great tennis, and I am happy to be at my second final at the US Open,” Alcaraz commented after the match.

Alcaraz will now face defending champion Jannik Sinner in what is expected to be a thrilling final. The pair have a history of epic Grand Slam clashes, including Alcaraz’s French Open win and Sinner’s Wimbledon victory earlier this year. Their 2022 U.S. Open quarter-final, a five-hour marathon, remains a highlight of their rivalry.

In other news, U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend Sunday’s final.

On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka will defend her title against Amanda Anisimova in Saturday’s final. Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe claimed the women’s doubles title, defeating Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova.
