Alcaraz races into US Open third round as Djokovic, Sabalenka advance

Carlos Alcaraz won in straight sets showing dominance, while Novak Djokovic recovered from a set down to reach the third round, both aiming for Grand Slam milestones.

  • On Wednesday, Carlos Alcaraz powered into the US Open third round with a straight-sets win over Mattia Bellucci, while Novak Djokovic also advanced after a four-set victory against American qualifier Zachary Svajda.
  • Motivated by last year's exit, Carlos Alcaraz said the second-round loss stayed on his mind and helped fuel his approach on Wednesday at the US Open.
  • Alcaraz's statistics showed he produced 32 winners and ended the match in one hour 36 minutes, beating Mattia Bellucci 6-1, 6-0, 6-3.
  • Djokovic's victory sets up a record-equalling 19th third round appearance where he will face Britain's Cameron Norrie, one of only two British men left after Jack Draper's withdrawal.
  • Both champions remain on track for a potential semi-final, while Jack Draper's withdrawal eases Jannik Sinner's path and shifts focus to top seeds headlining Day 5.
