NEW YORK, Sept 8 — Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will aim to set up another eagerly awaited matchup in a Grand Slam by reaching the US Open final on Friday, less than two months after their blockbuster showdown in the Wimbledon title clash.
“It would be great to play a final against Novak here in New York but we both have really tough semi-finals,” Alcaraz said. “But obviously both of us are looking for that potential final. “The last matches that I played against Daniil I played a tactical game perfectly,” said Alcaraz. “I think my game suits well against an opponent like Daniil.”
In-form Djokovic, 36, will replace Alcaraz as world number one after the tournament and is on the hunt for his 24th Grand Slam title to match Margaret Court’s all-time singles record. “It’s logical to expect that most of the crowd would support the home player. That’s probably going to be the case on Friday, but I’ll be ready for it.”
