Djokovic vs. Alcaraz: A Battle Between Generations
At 38 years old, Novak Djokovic remains a force. With 24 grand slam titles, the Serbian is aiming for his record-breaking 25th. Though he’s been tested in New York, often pushed to four sets, his resilience and experience shine through. Djokovic knows many fans expect an Alcaraz vs. Sinner final, but he plans to “mess up the plans.”
On the other side, Carlos Alcaraz, already a five-time grand slam champion, is chasing his second major of 2025after winning the French Open. The Spaniard has been dominant, not dropping a set in the tournament so far. Confident in both his play and mental toughness, Alcaraz hopes to reclaim the world No. 1 ranking with another title in New York, where he first lifted a major trophy in 2022.
Sinner vs. Auger-Aliassime: Can Anyone Stop the World No. 1?
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner enters as the heavy favorite. The Italian has already won two grand slams in 2025 and rides a 26-match winning streak at hard-court majors. Having dropped just one set en route to the semifinals, his opponents describe him as “on another level.”
Meanwhile, Félix Auger-Aliassime is playing in only his second career grand slam semifinal, his first since the 2021 US Open. The Canadian has shown grit, upsetting top seeds and battling through tough matches, including a hard-fought quarterfinal win over Alex de Minaur. With his wedding scheduled just after the tournament, Auger-Aliassime is hoping to make this New York run unforgettable.
