Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz head-to-head stats: How did tennis stars fare ahead of their first US Open meeting?

At the eyes will be at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Thursday night when seventh-seed Novak Djokovic takes on world no. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the high-octane semifinal at the ongoing US Open 2025. The Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz encounter will start at 12:30 AM IST (September 6).

The tennis stars have combined for five titles at Flushing Meadows so far and will be meeting for the second time since the Olympic Games last year in Paris. Despite being 38-year-old, Djokovic had been flawless at the US Open 2025 en route to his 14th semifinal appearance.

Interestingly, the Serbian, who is chasing his 25th Grand Slam, has had to face either the top or second seed in the semifinals in the previous three Majors this season. The trend continued as he set to face second seed Alcaraz in an epic showdown.

However, this won't be easy for the 22-year-old Alcaraz, who had been in the finals of all three Grand Slams this year. The Spaniard is yet to win against Djokovic on hard courts, where the 38-year-old claimed 14 titles. The last time Alcaraz won an US Open was way back in 2022. Since then he has not even reached the final of the tournament.

The last time Djokovic met Alcaraz was during the Australian Open 2025 quarterfinal with the Serbian emerging triumphant after losing the first set. In the last five meetings between the two, Djokovic had four as compared to Alcaraz's one.
