Alcaraz-Djokovic Schedule Announced, Sinner Still in Contention for the Double: The Schedule for Friday, September 5 at the US Open

On Friday, it's time for the men's singles semifinals at the US Open. Tennis fans will certainly have their eyes fixed on New York at 9 PM (French time) to follow the first enticing semifinal between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

For now, the Serbian leads 5-3 in their head-to-head matchups against his young opponent and won their last encounter in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open earlier this season.

Next, not before 1 AM in France, the second semifinal will pit Jannik Sinner against Félix Auger-Aliassime. World number one and defending US Open champion, the Italian is the overwhelming favorite in this match against the Canadian, whom he is facing for the fourth time on the main tour (currently 2-1 in favor of Auger-Aliassime).

Before that, in the mid-afternoon, the women's doubles final will take place between the pairs Katerina Siniakova/Taylor Townsend (seeded number 1) and Gabriela Dabrowski/Erin Routliffe (seeded number 3).
