Carlos Alcaraz powered into the US Open semi-finals to set up a potential showdown with Novak Djokovic on Tuesday as reigning women's champion Aryna Sabalenka was handed a walkover into the last four. Alcaraz needed just one hour and 56 minutes to seal a convincing 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 defeat of Czech 20th seed Jiri Lehecka on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/us-open-ceo-hat-stealing-incident-swiatek-admits-wanting-rafa-s-sweaty-towels-as-kid-1756810925924">US Open CEO hat stealing incident: Swiatek admits wanting 'Rafa's sweaty towels as kid'</a>The Spanish second seed could now face a blockbuster semi-final against 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, who takes on American fourth seed Taylor Fritz in Tuesday's other quarter-final.Alcaraz could reclaim the world number one ranking with a victorious campaign in New York, a fact he is trying not to dwell on."Every time I step onto the court I try not to think about it," he said. "If I think about the number one spot too much I think I'm going to put pressure on myself and I don't want to do that."Alcaraz has not dropped a set during a relentless march into the semi-finals and was once again in complete control against Lehecka.The 22-year-old -- who won the first of his five Grand Slam singles title at Flushing Meadows in 2022 -- broke Lehecka in the opening game before wrapping up the first set with ease.Alcaraz, efficient on his own serve in the first set, then raced away with the second set, breaking Lehecka to take a 5-2 lead before holding to take a 2-0 advantage.The third set went with serve until the ninth game, when Lehecka smacked a straightforward forehand long at 30-40 down and was broken for the fourth time in the match.That left Alcaraz serving for the match, and he duly held to love, sealing his win with a scorching forehand into the corner.<h2>Sabalenka walkover</h2>In the women's draw on Tuesday, world number one and defending champion Sabalenka moved into the semi-finals without needing to set foot on court after Czech quarter-final opponent Marketa Vondrousova pulled out with an injury.Sabalenka, bidding to become the first woman to successfully defend the US Open since Serena Williams completed a hat-trick of titles in 2014, extended sympathy to Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon champion."So sorry for Marketa after all she's been through. She has been playing amazing tennis and I know how badly this must hurt for her," said Sabalenka, who has now reached the US Open semi-finals or better for five tournaments in a row.Vondrousova's withdrawal sets up a repeat of last year's US Open final in the last four, with Sabalenka facing American fourth seed Jessica Pegula on Thursday.Pegula reached the semi-finals earlier on Tuesday after a 6-3, 6-3 defeat of unseeded Czech Barbora Krejcikova.Pegula entered the US Open on the back of a dismal run of form that had seen her make early exits at WTA tournaments in Washington, Montreal and Cincinnati.But she has rediscovered her confidence while moving stealthily through the rounds at New York, albeit against a series of unseeded opponents."I think I've been playing some really good tennis," Pegula said after completing a 1hr 26min victory."It's crazy to feel this comfortable on the biggest court in the world with the craziest crowd and the best players. It's something that 10 years ago I never thought I'd be good at this but I guess I am."Pegula said she is welcoming the chance to avenge last year's final defeat to Sabalenka."I think it would be cool to be able to get revenge, obviously," she said.

The first woman to win the Academy Award for best director, Kathryn Bigelow, is back at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday with a new White House thriller that Netflix hopes will find Oscar glory. The highly anticipated A House of Dynamite from the American director is one of 21 films competing for the top Golden Lion prize for best film on Saturday at the world's oldest film festival. The American director, who won the directing prize at the Oscars in 2010 for "The Hurt Locker", focuses once again on geopolitics in her latest film, which focuses on a missile threat to the White House and stars Idris Elba. It has been eight years since Bigelow's last feature, Detroit, about the 1967 riot in the US city, making the premiere of A House of Dynamite Tuesday evening one of the highlights of the festival. Netflix, which produced the film, is banking on it as an Oscar contender. It is one of three films from the streaming platform at Venice this year, along with Noah Baumbach's comedy Jay Kelly, starring George Clooney as a Hollywood star with an identity crisis, and the big-budget "Frankenstein" by Guillermo del Toro, starring Oscar Isaac. Also premiering Tuesday is Dead Man's Wire from Gus Van Sant, the director of Good Will Hunting and Drugstore Cowboy, who has similarly been out of the spotlight in recent years. The American director's first movie since 2018 centres on a real-life hostage drama at a loan agency, with Bill Skarsgard and Al Pacino. Van Sant is also due to receive a Passion for Film award from the festival and Campari spirits, an award that "honors those who turn passion into a driving creative force". Monday's festival saw the premiere of "The Smashing Machine" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a film about real-life mixed martial arts fighter Mark Kerr, a pioneer in the sport who competed in the 1990s and 2000s. The Hollywood Reporter called the film, directed by Benny Safdie, "a compellingly gritty and offbeat biopic." Also receiving mostly positive reviews from critics was "The Testament of Ann Lee" from Mona Fastvold about the founder of the radical Shakers religious sect in the 1700s.

With "The Odyssey" and a new "Spider-Man" film, next summer looks set to be the summer of Tom Holland -- and the famously boyish and ebullient star can hardly contain his excitement.&nbsp;First up will be Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation of "The Odyssey," out mid-July. Holland plays Telemachus, the son of the saga's hero Odysseus and a key character in the Ancient Greek saga.&nbsp;"The script is the best script I've ever read," Holland, who recently wrapped filming in locations around the Mediterranean, tells AFP.&nbsp;The movie is Nolan's follow-up to "Oppenheimer," and again boasts an A-list cast, including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron -- and Zendaya, Holland's fiancee."Chris [Nolan] is a real collaborator. He knows what he wants... but it is not an environment where you can't pitch ideas or build characters in certain ways," enthuses Holland.&nbsp;The two Brits have not worked together before, but have plenty in common. Nolan directed the Batman "Dark Knight" trilogy. They stand alongside Holland's "Spider-Man" movies among the superhero genre's most successful and beloved movies.&nbsp;Just days before Holland spoke to AFP, photos circulated of him shooting an action sequence for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in Glasgow, with the Scottish city standing in for New York.&nbsp;For Holland, donning the Spidey suit for his seventh overall Marvel movie, it still "feels like the first time.""Yesterday, I was on top of a tank driving down the high street in Glasgow, in front of thousands of fans, and it was awesome," he said.&nbsp;“It was so incredible, it was exciting, and exhilarating, and it felt fresh.” The film is due out late July, just two weeks after "The Odyssey." - 'Toxic' technology -Holland's take on Peter Parker -- aka Spider-Man -- has always stood out from previous versions for its especially playful, youthful energy.Those qualities are also central to "Never Stop Playing," a new campaign and short film fronted by Holland for The LEGO Group, which warns that children today feel pressured into growing up too fast."With screens and phones and iPads and Instagram and all these sorts of toxic pieces of technology, it was really nice to be a part of something that is a tangible product," says Holland.Holland, 29, says his generation is lucky to have grown up at the dawn of social media, when the technology was less pervasive and destructive than it is now."I think that it puts young people under a certain amount of pressure, to maybe not necessarily be themselves, but be versions of themselves that the internet want them to be," he says."By the time my peers are having kids, we'll understand the dangers of social media and kids living in the spotlight." - Zendaya -Holland's engagement to "Spider-Man" co-star Zendaya drew global headlines earlier this year, after she was spotted wearing a giant, gleaming engagement ring to the Golden Globes.As for the topic of children, "I haven't embarked on that part of my life yet," Holland says."But keeping a keen eye on the access young people have on the internet is very important. I'll definitely be buying them LEGO before I'm buying them a phone," he says.For now, Holland is excited to keep imbuing his Spider-Man with that youthful vigor, which "really is just who I am -- it's kind of like a heightened version of myself.""It's very important to never lose that eagerness to play," he says.As Holland has grown older and become more famous, "I've become slightly more introverted, and kind of yearn for a bit more of a private life at times," he reflects."But I think that kid in me will always be there."
