Novak Djokovic‘s latest quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam tennis title has brought him back to the place where the Serbian great won his last major in 2023 – the famous blue courts of the US Open.
The 38-year-old has defied his age and an often partisan crowd to overcome three American challengers, including home favourite Taylor Fritz, on his way to the semifinal, only to set a date with one of the two best players in the world: Carlos Alcaraz.
As the seventh-seeded former champion renews his generational rivalry with the young Spaniard, he will need to pull out all the stops in the semifinal in order to set up a date with destiny in Sunday’s final.
