An opening. An opportunity to gain an early edge against the defending champion. And then — poof! — gone.

One more service hold arrived and, just like that, the set belonged to Alcaraz, as did, eventually, a spot in the semifinals.The top-seeded Alcaraz pushed aside Zverev 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 and moved a step closer to becoming the first man to win consecutive titles at Flushing Meadows since Roger Federer collected five in a row from 2004-08.“(If) I could have broken, it could have gone my way. It didn’t,” Zverev said about that key segment in the match’s seventh game. “...
