NEW YORK (Reuters) -Novak Djokovic reasserted his dominance over American Taylor Fritz with a 6-3 7-5 3-6 6-4 victory on Tuesday to set up a U.S. Open semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz, celebrating the win with a dance dedicated to his daughter on her birthday.

The 38-year-old arrived at Arthur Ashe Stadium having beaten Fritz in all 10 of their previous meetings but had to fight hard to move past last year's runner-up and stay on track for a record 25th major title.
