Carlos Alcaraz delivered a commanding performance at the US Open on Tuesday, defeating Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 to secure his spot in the semifinals. The Spanish phenom, aiming for his second US Open title and sixth Grand Slam victory, showcased relentless precision, winning 84% of first-serve points and avoiding break points entirely during the match.

Alcaraz’s tactical serving and explosive baseline play ultimately proved decisive. “I try not to think about rankings or pressure—just focus on my goals and enjoy the moment,” he said post-match, downplaying expectations ahead of his highly anticipated clash with Novak Djokovic.
In women’s singles, Jessica Pegula edged past Barbora Krejcikova in a hard-fought battle, advancing to the semifinals and keeping American hopes alive.
