Alcaraz says he will not dwell long on US Open semifinal exit

The Hindu  

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz said he would not dwell long on his shock U.S. Open semifinal defeat to Russian Daniil Medvedev on Friday, as he exited the year’s final major with plans to “grow up” from the loss. The crowds did their part to try to propel their fan-favourite Alcaraz past Medvedev, imploring the 20-year-old Wimbledon champion to keep fighting on Arthur Ashe Stadium. But the Russian third seed simply overwhelmed his opponent, setting up a rematch of his successful 2021 finale against 23-times major winner Novak Djokovic, as he won 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. But while the semi-final exit was undoubtedly a bitter end to an otherwise terrific North American hardcourt stretch, Alcaraz said he could keep the defeat in perspective.
