Just four players remain in the men’s draw at the 2025 US Open, and by the end of today’s semifinals, there will be just two left.
The US Open men’s semifinals get started this afternoon with a matchup between two Grand Slam champions. No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz will face off against 24-time Grand Slam champ Novak Djokovic. Djokovic is chasing his 25th Slam title, which would break the record for most individual titled held by a player.
In primetime, the world No. 1 and defending US Open champ Jannik Sinner will face off against a surprise semifinalist, Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. Auger-Aliassime, ranked at No. 25, has only made the semifinals of a Grand Slam once before (at the 2021 US Open) and advanced into this year’s semifinal after besting No. 10 Alex De Minaur.
