Carlos Alcaraz powered past Novak Djokovic in straight sets to secure his place in the US Open final. The world number two delivered a commanding performance against the 38-year-old Serbian legend at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The Spanish star won 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 to advance to his second US Open final. Alcaraz's dominant display left Djokovic with no answer to the younger player's relentless attacking style.
Generational shift on display
The age gap between the two players proved decisive as Alcaraz's youth and energy overwhelmed the veteran champion. The Telegraph described Alcaraz as "imperious" throughout the semi-final encounter.
Alcaraz will now compete for his third Grand Slam title after previously winning the US Open in 2022 and Wimbledon in 2023. The victory continues his remarkable rise in world tennis and signals a changing of the guard at the sport's highest level.
