Astounding Carlos Alcaraz wins US Open and becomes world number one
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.
