☆ Alcaraz primed for U.S. Open defence as Djokovic rivalry grows

When they met for the second time in the French Open semi-finals in June, it was the inexperienced Spaniard who cracked under pressure and suffered from severe cramps as Djokovic, 36, prevailed. Now they are level again after Wimbledon and Cincinnati, creating huge expectation for a possible U.S. Open showdown. "I'm really looking forward to returning to the U.S. Open, which is a tournament that has given me so much and where I achieved my dreams," Alcaraz said in Cincinnati. "The matches (against Djokovic) are very tight, they are very tough... Reporting by Fernando Kallás in Madrid, editing by Ed OsmondOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

Of course, he did, because you do not have 23 Grand Slam titles in the bank by ducking a fight in moments of crisis. Young pretenders have repeatedly tried and failed to take Djokovic down at Wimbledon -- Matteo Berrettini in the 2021 final and Nick Kyrgios last year. That he did it with Djokovic still at the peak of his powers and halfway to a calendar-year Grand Slam, made it feel like a seismic moment in men's tennis. "I've won some epic finals that I was close to losing so it's fair and square," Djokovic, who saved match points when beating Roger Federer in 2019, told reporters. The bull-like Spaniard, playing only his second Grand Slam final compared to Djokovic's record 35, might have folded after being schooled by the master in a 34-minute opening set.

☆ Alcaraz mauls Medvedev and sets his sights on Djokovic in dream final

The Serbian has not lost on Centre Court for 10 years, but Alcaraz said he is ready for the challenge. I dreamed of this since I started to play tennis, to play in a final here. Alcaraz lost to Medvedev in the second round on his Wimbledon debut in 2021, when he was then ranked 75th. Medvedev surrendered serve tamely at 3-4 to allow Alcaraz to bag the first set. Asked if Alcaraz can win, Medvedev said: "I think, yes.
