Against Sinner, he made a great start as he won the first set pretty easily. However, the Italian tennis player came back in the match by winning the next two sets in tie-breaks.

After almost 5 hours and 15 minutes, Alcaraz beat Sinner 6-3,6-7,6-7,7-5,6-3. After the match, the Spaniard thanked the New York crowd for supporting him and giving him energy throughout the match. With this win, he reached his first-ever Grand Slam semi-final, which is undoubtedly a big achievement for the 19-year-old Spaniard. In the semi-final, he will face the 24-year-old American player Frances Tiafoe, who showed great form in this tournament.
