Alkaras faced Novak Djokovic (38, Serbia), who was 16 years older than him and won 24 in big three tournaments, winning straight sets 6-4, 7-6, 6-2. The team won twice as many winners as they watched against the opponent, who had lost in both of their last two matches, including this year’s Australian Opening.

Alcalas, who is aiming for his first victory since the 2022 tournament, was pleased, saying, “I was able to advance to the US finals again. It feels great and means a lot.”

In the other match, world No. 1 and No. 1 seed Janic Sinner (Italy), defeated 25th seed Felix Augeriasim (Canada), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, and took the lead in a consecutive victory.
