Wow! Alcaraz breaks Djokovic's serve right at the start of this clash. Not the best of starts for Djokovic. Multiple unforced errors and he gives away the first game to the Sppaniard who has been really sharp as he usually is.

Alcaraz takes the first two games of the opening set. Djokovic looking a bit scratchy to start things while Alcaraz has started this clash at the top of his game. Some absolutely fierce serves from him in this second game. Top class so far from the Spaniard.

A sigh of relief from Novak Djokovic as he starts the second set with a win in the opening game. So far, Alcaraz has not quite let Djokovic dictate terms even in the games that the Serb has won. Djokovic has been forced to work hard to get his game points.

A roaring fist pump from Djokovic as he breaks Alcaraz's serve for the first time in this semifinal clash to take a 2-0 lead in the second set. Brilliant start for the Serbian and finally, Alcaraz is being made to pay for his mistakes. The Spaniard is really making a lot of unforced errors and Djokovic has slowly started taking toll of it.

So, Djokovic to serve first.

Carlos Alcaraz wins the second set as well. Too many errors in the tiebreaker from Novak Djokovic and he pays for it dearly. It is 7-4 for Alcaraz in the tiebreaker and the the second seed takes the set 7-6. Djokovic will be really disappointed with his performance in this tiebreaker though. He made multiple unforced errors and now remains on the verge of getting knocked out. But he is known for his comebacks, isn't he?

An ace to wrap up the third game of this third set and Alcaraz now leads 2-1. 2 aces in this set for Alcaraz. When he has been good, he has just been unplayable.

Djokovic broken for the third time tonight and Aclaraz now leading 3-1. He is increasingly looking like the better player tonight and that too by a margin. Djokovic has been put under a lot of pressure and while he has resisted well, Alcaraz has just been too aggressive and powerful.

It is done! Carlos Alcaraz is our first finalist of the US Open 2025. He has won the final set in a hurry and Djokovic has a wry smile on his face as he shakes hands with the winner. What an outstanding performance from the Spaniard.

Carlos Alcaraz 6-4, 7-6, 6-2 Novak Djokovic

DOMINATION written all over this win from Carlos Alcaraz. He takes just 2 hour 26 minutes to decimate the 24-time Grand Slam winner. Alcaraz started well but there was a time in the second set when Djokovic started making a comeback. Djokovic was leading 3-0 in the second set before Alcaraz bounced back and won it in tiebreaker. Then the third set was just totally swept as Djokovic surrendered.
