Spanish phenom Carlos Alcaraz has advanced to his first career Grand Slam final at the US Open, defeating American Frances Tiafoe in yet another epic match at Arthur Ashe Stadium by a final score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-1, 6-7, 6-3. 

Tiafoe gave Alcaraz a run for his money in this tennis match, forcing a fifth set. But in that fifth, Alcaraz showcased the version of himself that we saw in the second and third sets, where he simply dominated his opponent.

Keeping the unforced errors at a minimum, Alcaraz was spectacular in the final game of the match, leaving Tiafoe baffled with his fine play. Tiafoe also had trouble with his first serves and had many more unforced errors compared to Alcaraz in the set.

Tiafoe hit a return into the net on match point, and Alcaraz dropped to the court in awe of what he has accomplished.

At 19 years old, Alcaraz has a chance to become the No. 1-ranked player in the world if he wins the final. He made it there winning three straight matches that went to five sets, including his quarterfinal match against Italy’s Jannik Sinner that recorded the longest-ever match in US Open history at over five hours.
