Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest ever world number one after the 19-year-old Spaniard won the US Open on Sunday.
NEW YORK: Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz completed his rapid rise to the top of the tennis world on Sunday (Sep 11), claiming his first Grand Slam title and taking the number one ranking with a 6-4 2-6 7-6(1) 6-3 win over Norway's Casper Ruud in the US Open final.
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, fell to his back and cupped his hands to his face before jumping up to embrace Ruud at the net. He then climbed past photographers and into the stands to celebrate in his box with his team. "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," Alcaraz 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." "Bravo Carlitos!" was displayed on a banner inside the stadium for the native of El Palmar.

Alcaraz defeated Sinner 6-3, 6-7 (7/9), 6-7 (0/7), 7-5, 6-3 to book his place in the US Open semifinals, where he will face Frances Tiafoe of the United States.
NEW YORK — This was a match that would not end. Should not end, one might say. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, two of the brightest young stars of men's tennis, traded shots of the highest quality and countless momentum swings across five sterling sets for 5 hours, 15 minutes until Alcaraz finally won the last point at 2:50 a.m. Thursday, the latest finish in US Open history.
