24-time major champion Novak Djokovic came to a harsh realization about his prospects at winning his 25th slam with the likes of the sport's dominant young stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner standing in his way.
Djokovic was bested in straight sets by Alcaraz in the semifinals of the U.S. Open on Friday, the third time this season his run at a major has needed at the hands of Sinner or Alcaraz.
