How to watch Alcaraz-Djokovic and Sinner-Auger-Aliassime blockbuster US Open semi-final showdowns - Preview, Live Streaming, Timings and more

Carlos Alcaraz has established himself as a dominant force in men’s tennis in the past three years, capturing Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces. However, the Spaniard has struggled against Novak Djokovic on hard courts, with his only victories over the Serb coming on grass. That statistic will be front of mind as the two clash in Friday’s US Open semi-final.

While fans have eagerly anticipated a potential final showdown between Alcaraz and world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, both players must first navigate their respective semi-finals. Sinner faces Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is enjoying his best Grand Slam form in four years and has already claimed victories over top-10 players Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur. Auger-Aliassime leads the head-to-head 2–1 against Sinner, though he was soundly defeated in their most recent meeting in Cincinnati.

Alcaraz, chasing a second US Open title, will also seek revenge after losing to Djokovic in the Paris Olympics final and the Australian Open quarter-finals earlier this year. Djokovic, meanwhile, is pursuing an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam, having reached the semi-finals at every major this season but falling short each time.
