Carlos Alcaraz has reacted to becoming the only player ever to defeat Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal back-to-back on the clay after downing the world No 1 6-7(5) 6-4 7-6(5) in their first meeting to advance to the Madrid Open final. It comes a day after he scored his first victory over his compatriot in his third attempt.
Carlos Alcaraz cumple hoy 19 años. A una edad en la que muchos no saben aún qué quieren ser en la vida, él lo tiene clarísimo. Sus récords de precocidad anunciaban algo grande, pero lo que apuntó en 2021 (primer título ATP en Umag, cuartos de final en el US Open con victoria sobre Stefanos Tsitsipas, maestro NextGen…) lo ha superado a una velocidad endiablada en 2022. Si en la pasada edición del Madrid Open cayó por 6-1 y 6-2 ante Rafa Nadal la primera vez que se enfrentó a su ídolo (un 5 de mayo), en el pasado Indian Wells tuvo contra las cuerdas al campeón de 21 Grand Slams en semifinales.

MADRID: Carlos Alcaraz became the first player to defeat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the same tournament on clay as he stormed into the Madrid Open final on Saturday (May 7).
MADRID — After beating Rafael Nadal on Friday, Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz did it again with an upset of world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the Madrid Open on Saturday.
Carlos Alcaraz became the first player to defeat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the same tournament on clay as he stormed into the Madrid Open final on Saturday. The 19-year-old Spaniard reached his second ATP Masters final in five weeks and claimed his first-ever win over a reigning world number one, overcoming Djokovic 6-7 (5/7), 7-5, 7-6 (7/5) in front of a sell-out home crowd at the Caja Magica. Alcaraz now owns a tour-leading seven top-10 wins this season, and enters Sunday's final -- against Stefanos Tsitsipas or defending champion Alexander Zverev -- carrying a nine-match winning streak, having triumphed in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago.
Carlos Alcaraz has defeated Novak Djokovic a day after his maiden victory over Rafael Nadal. The home favourite came from a set down to win 6-7(5) 7-5 7-6(5) after three hours and 35 minutes in what was his first meeting with the world No 1. He will now face either Alexander Zverev or Stefanos Tsitsipas in a bid to win his fourth title of the season and a second Masters 1000.
MADRID (AP) — Rafael Nadal one day. Novak Djokovic the other.
