Djokovic in bid to 'mess up plans' in semi-final

Novak Djokovic is hoping to be the US Open's disruptor after setting up a semifinal blockbuster against Carlos Alcaraz.

- 

Djokovic overcame Taylor Fritz and a rowdy New York crowd, quelling the American's fightback to keep alive his chances of a 25th grand slam title.

Fritz had hoped to finally secure a first victory over Djokovic at the 11th time of asking but the majority of the big moments went the way of the Serbian, who triumphed 6-37-53-66-4 after three hours and 24 minutes.
