Carlos Alcaraz has continued his flawless run at the US Open 2025 with a dominant win in the quarter-finals on Tuesday. He defeated Jiri Lehecka in straight sets to seal his spot in the semi-final and stay on track for his first hard-court Grand Slam title since 2022.
The 22-year old secured 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory in just under two hours, maintaining his perfect record of not dropping a set in US Open this year. He will now face the four-time champion Novak Djokovic or last year’s finalist Taylor Fritiz in the upcoming match.
“I’m not, but sometimes when I go to the living room, my little brothers are watching my highlights, so I just sit down and watch them,” Alcaraz said with a smile when asked if he watches back his hot shots. “Everytime I watch my shots again, it reminds me [during] matches.”
“If I think about the No. 1 spot too much, I’m going to put pressure on myself, and I just don’t want to do that,” Alcaraz said. “I just want to step on court, try to do my things, follow my goals and try to enjoy as much as I can. The No. 1 [spot] is there, but I try to not think about it too much.”
