Daniil Medvedev says Carlos Alcaraz’s “level of tennis is insane” as the Spaniard won maiden Grand Slam by winning the US Open to also become the new world No. 1. Alcaraz beat Casper Ruud in the final with the world No.
Daniil Medvedev says he “didn’t feel much” when he lost his world No. 1 spot to Carlos Alcaraz after he was knocked out in the fourth round of the US Open. Medvedev was beaten in four sets by Nick Kyrgios, which included an epic first set tie-break that was won by the Australian 13-11.
Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest ever world number one after the 19-year-old Spaniard won the US Open on Sunday.
For several years, the changing of the guard in men’s tennis has long been discussed and it is now finally happening, according to Eurosport’s experts. Karen Khachanov, Casper Ruud, Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe made up the semi-finalists of the US Open, which guaranteed a new Grand Slam champion. Ad Six-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters believes it’s been “great” for tennis to see younger and lesser-known names go deep in the tournament at Flushing Meadows.
NEW YORK : A 55-shot, marathon rally brought fans to their feet in Flushing Meadows on Friday but nearly leveled the two men who lived through it, Norwegian Casper Ruud and Russian Karen Khachanov, competing in their U.S. Open semi-final.
The first Norwegian man to reach the final at Flushing Meadows won an extraordinary 55-shot rally to close the first-set tie break on his way to victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The fifth seed next faces either home hope Frances Tiafoe or third seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in the final. "This match is probably the biggest match for both of our careers," said Ruud, who was left humbled when he lost in straight sets to Rafa Nadal in June's Roland Garros final. "You want to take care of the opportunities you have and I was able to do that today."
Casper Ruud reached the US Open final and closed in on the world number one ranking with a four-set victory over Karen Khachanov on Friday. Ruud defeated the Russian 7-6 (7/5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 in his semi-final and will face either Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz or Frances Tiafoe of the United States in Sunday's championship match. It will be world number seven Ruud's second Grand Slam final of the season after finishing runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the French Open in June.
Casper Ruud defeated Karen Khachanov to reach his second grand slam final of the season at the US Open and move to within one result of taking over as world number one.
