Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz ushered in a new era in men's tennis as he defeated Norway's Casper Ruud in an epic US Open final to lift his maiden Grand Slam title and also rise to the top of world rankings.

Alcaraz, 19, became the youngest man to reach the world No 1 ranking and thus cemented his status as the future superstar of tennis.

He fought his way to a 6-4, 2-6, 7-6, 6-3 victory over Ruud in New York on Sunday. "This is something I dreamed of since I was a kid, to be number one in the world, to be the champion at a Grand Slam," he said in an on-court interview. "All the hard work that I did with my team, with my family.

I'm just 19-years-old so all of the tough decisions are with my parents and my team as well. This is something that is really, really special for me." Alcaraz had a difficult path to the title.
