Novak Djokovic’s hopes for a 25th Grand Slam title were dashed by Carlos Alcaraz in the 2025 US Open semifinals. Alcaraz secured a decisive victory with scores of 6-4, 7-6(4), and 6-2. This loss is part of a troubling pattern for Djokovic, who has now lost to Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner in three out of four Grand Slams in 2025. While Djokovic displayed moments of brilliance, fatigue seemed to set in during the latter stages of the match. Fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts, with some suggesting it might be time for Djokovic to retire, while others maintain faith in his ability to achieve more. Djokovic himself acknowledged the difficulty of the situation, but affirmed his commitment to competing for Grand Slam titles. The final will see Alcaraz take on Sinner, reinforcing their dominance in the sport.
