Carlos Alcarez reached the semifinals of the US Open on Wednesday. He will probably meet Novak Djokovic there. Alcarez easily defeated Czech player Jiri Lochka 6-4, 6-2 and 6-4 in the match at the Arthur Ace Stadium Court.

Alcarez, the second-ranked Spaniard, will become the No. 1 player if he wins the title in New York. He has not dropped a single set in his journey to the semi-finals. On the women's side, the world number 1 player Aryan Sablenka has also reached the semi-finals. Sablenka, who is also the

defending champion, did not even have to go to the court for this . Marketa Vondrosova gave her a walkover due to injury. Now Sabalenka will have the opportunity to defend the US Open title since 2014.
