Carlos Alcaraz fires 28 winners in 3-set U.S. Open quarterfinal victory over Jiri Lehecka

Second seed Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the U.S. Open men's semifinals on Tuesday, demolishing Czech Jiri Lehecka 6-4 6-2 6-4 on Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.

Alcaraz has yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows and he had the crowd in the palm of his hand as he fired off 28 winners and never faced a break point.

Lehecka is one of the few players to beat Alcaraz this season, winning in the Doha quarterfinals, but was outclassed this time around and could only watch helplessly as the Spaniard's forehand winner zipped by on match point.

Alcaraz will play the winner of the match later on Tuesday between 24-time major winner Novak Djokovic and American fourth seed Taylor Fritz.

Alcaraz broke in the first game, helped on his way by a pair of Lehecka double faults, and the Spaniard got the crowd going as he triumphed in a thrilling, cat-and-mouse exchange at the net in the 10th game, sending a backhand winner streaking past the Czech.

The 2022 champion kept the momentum going in the second set, converting a break point at the net in the first game, and Lehecka became visibly agitated as he went down another break with a double fault in the seventh game.

Tooo good from Carlitos
