Super semi-final
Welcome to SunSport’s LIVE coverage of the blockbuster men’s US Open semi-final clash between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
The Serbian icon is in the hunt for his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam victory.
Djokovic is currently tied at the top of the all-time charts with 24 major wins with Margaret Court.
Victory at Flushing Meadows this year would cement him as the undoubted greatest to ever step foot on a tennis court.

As for Alcaraz, he and rival Jannik Sinner are the new big hitters in the sport.
The Spaniard is already a five-time Slam champion at the age of 22 and he has cruised through his matches so far without dropping a set.
