Day 12 brings the men's singles semi-finals and two exciting match ups
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will aim to set up another anticipated showdown in a grand slam final at the US Open on Friday.
However, the defending champion must first find a way past 2021 winner Daniil Medvedev, in a rematch of this year’s Wimbledon semi-final.
Three-time champion Novak Djkovic meets America’s up-and-coming talent Ben Shelton .
The Serbian is in pursuit of his first US Open triumph since 2018 and he is back within two wins of matching Margaret Court’s all-time tally.
Meanwhile, in the women’s draw Coco Gauff is through to her first US Open final, but only after her semi-final against Karolina Muchova was suspended for more than 45 minutes when a protester glued his feet to the floor in the stands.
Aryna Sabalenka came from a set and a break down to deny the US Open crowd an all-American final.
The second seed, who will rise to world number one on Monday, lost the first set to love against Madison Keys, but hit back to win 0-6,7-6,7-6 and book a Saturday showdown with Gauff.
