He will face Novak Djokovic – the man he beat to win his first and only grand slam so far at Flushing Meadows in 2021.
“It’s amazing, especially beating someone like Carlos,” he said. “I lost easy to him two times this year so I had a lot of doubts.
“I said I needed to play 11 out of 10, and I actually played 12 out of 10, except in the third set. He’s pretty unbelievable so to beat him you need to be better than yourself and fortunately I was.”He added: “I have to be honest, the crowd was unbelievable today. We had some crazy points and I felt, let’s call it, love to both guys.
“At 5-3 I guess we had some Spanish guys calling out between first and second serves, but they can go to sleep now.” If the alarm bells had yet to start ringing for Alcaraz when he lost a tight first set on a tie-break, they were surely chiming when he was broken twice in a one-sided second set to slip 2-0 down.
