Novak Djokovic vs Ben Shelton: Where to watch, TV schedule, live streaming details, and more | US Open 2023, Semifinal

Novak Djokovic will battle it out against Ben Shelton in the semifinals of the 2023 US Open on Friday (September 8).

The 23-time Major champion faced Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals and defeated him 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 to reach his record 47th Grand Slam semifinal. By doing so, he broke his tie with Roger Federer with respect to the same.

The 36-year-old also extended his unbeaten run against Americans to 30 consecutive wins. Sam Querrey was the last player from the country to defeat him when he ended the Serb's title defense in the third round of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships.

Shelton, meanwhile, bested fellow American Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(7), 6-2 to reach his maiden Grand Slam semifinal. The 20-year-old became the youngest American man to reach this stage since Michael Chang in 1992.

The victory has also ensured that Shelton will make his debut in the top 20 of the ATP rankings following the conclusion of the tournament. He's currently projected to reach No. 19 but could reach as high as No. 15 by making the final and No. 11 by winning the title.

But standing in Shelton's way is one of the very best to ever play the sport. Djokovic has lost just one match on hardcourts this season, with Daniil Medvedev being the only one to score a win over him on the surface. The Serb is also on a 10-match winning streak at the moment.

Shelton is up for the task, but it's quite difficult to stop Djokovic once he gets going. Nevertheless, this is an exciting battle between two of the hottest players on the tour right now.

On that note, here are the details regarding how to watch their upcoming showdown:
