Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 to advance to his second US Open final and third straight Grand Slam title match.
• Alcaraz has not dropped a set all tournament as he pursues his sixth major trophy and a second crown in New York.
• Jannik Sinner beat Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to set up a third consecutive Grand Slam final against Alcaraz.
• Djokovic’s loss is his fourth straight semifinal exit at a major this year, halting another bid for a record 25th Slam, and he acknowledged the growing best-of-five physical challenge but said he aims to play a full Slam season next year.
• A title on Sunday would return Alcaraz to No. 1, and a White House official said President Donald Trump plans to attend the final.
