"Djokovic's 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 victory saw him improve to 16-0 against US opponents in New York, as he reached the last four of a major for the 53rd time. It was an incredibly close match. It was really anybody's match, said Djokovic, who also drew level with Jimmy Connors for the most US Open semifinal appearances. I thought I was really lucky to save some crucial break points in the second set."
"Fritz saved two match points in a tight fourth set, before sealing his own fate with a double fault. That last game was nerve-racking. A tough one for Taylor to finish with a double fault; he didn't deserve that, said Djokovic. Djokovic and Alcaraz will square off for the first time since the Australian Open quarterfinals in January, when the Serbian won in four sets to take a 5-3 edge in their rivalry."
