NEW YORK (Reuters) -Second seed Carlos Alcaraz has yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows and cruised into the U.S. Open semi-finals on Tuesday, demolishing Czech Jiri Lehecka 6-4 6-2 6-4 on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Alcaraz had the crowd in the palm of his hand as he fired off 28 winners and never faced a break point, putting on yet another almost pristine performance. He will next play either 24-times major winner Novak Djokovic or American fourth seed Taylor Fritz.
