Djokovic Edges Fritz in Four Sets to Reach US Open Semifinals
Novak Djokovic secured his place in the 2025 US Open semifinals with a 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 victory over Taylor Fritz on Tuesday at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The result sets up a high-profile clash with Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic faced pressure early, saving five break points in the first set and navigating a tight second set with a timely crosscourt winner. Fritz briefly shifted the momentum by taking the third set, but the Serbian veteran regained control in the fourth to close out the match.
The win marked Djokovic’s 11th consecutive victory over Fritz, extending his unbeaten streak against American players at the US Open to 16–0.
After the match, Djokovic performed a playful K-Pop–inspired dance. It was an affectionate tribute to his 8-year-old daughter, whose birthday it was, even though she was not present at the venue.
What’s Next?
Djokovic will now face Carlos Alcaraz, who advanced with a dominant win over Jiri Lehecka.
