Nobody can escape from Alcaraz blitz into semis

CARLOS ALCARAZ stormed into the US Open semifinal with a routine victory over No.20 seed Jiri Lehecka

- 

The 2022 champion needed less than two hours to seal a 6-4 6-2 6-4 victory and is still in contention to return to No.1 in the world next week.

The No.2 seed said: "If I think about the No.1 spot too much, I'm going to put pressure on myself and I don't want to do that."

This is the first time in Alcaraz's career he has not dropped a set on his way to the last four of a Grand Slam tournament.
