Alcarath – Tiafoe 3: 2: The Spaniard is great, has qualified for the first Grand Slam final of his career
After a magnificent and difficult bout against the struggling Francis Tiafoe, Carlos Alcarath holed his ticket to the US Open final and the first Grand Slam final of his career, winning 3-2 sets (6-7, 6-3, 6-1 , 6-7, 6-3)
Spanish tennis prodigy Carlos Alcarath (No. 4) won another 5-set match in his career and reached his first Grand Slam tournament final.
The charismatic tennis player from Murcia, just 19, will compete in the final of the US Open on Friday after a magnificent and difficult victory over the struggling Francis Tiafoe (No. 26) in the second semi-final.
Alkarath, despite having a match point chance in the 4th set to end the semis earlier, showed how strong he is mentally going 6-7(6) 6-3 6-1 6-7(5). 6-3 over the American, sealed with No.7 Casper Rude in Sunday’s (9/11) title match
On Monday we have a new No. 1 in the world rankings and that will be the winner of the US Open… For the first time in history we will see a final Major tournament where the champion will rise to the top for the first time in the ATP rankings.
“It’s great to fight for big things. I will play in a Grand Slam final for the first time. I came very close to the world No. 1, but at the same time she is far away. I will play against an opponent, he plays incredible tennis.
He has already played in a Grand Slam final. I will give everything I am very happy. I’ll try to have fun with it and see what happens.” said Carlito in his on-court interview after the renewed triumph in New York.
This was the 8th career win in 5 sets for Carlos Alcarath, who has a record of 7-1, 5-0 at the US Open.
In fact, it was his third consecutive 5-set win after those against Cilic and Sinner. He may have continued his negative streak in tie-breaks and lost all four games he played in New York this year, but the Spaniard once again showed what a tough opponent he is by playing in the game’s crucial moments played with composure and efficiency.
