# Tennis: Novak Djokovic hopes to be fit enough to properly compete with young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal of the US Open. The 38-year-old Serbian looked in superb form throughout the tournament, including his victory over fourth-seeded American Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinal. But the 22-year-old world number two is the red-hot favourite to deny Djokovic his quest for a record 25th Grand Slam title. Djokovic realises it won’t be easy, but will try his best to be ready for a potential five-set battle.
