Carlos Alcaraz becomes the youngsest player to reach a Grand Slam final since compatriot Rafael Nadal as the teenager meets Casper Ruud in the US Open showpiece at Flushing Meadows.
The 19-year-old overcame America’s Frances Tiafoe in scintillating fashion in New York, setting up a clash with Ruud, who is set to make his second Grand Slam final appearance of the year.
With the world No.1 spot guaranteed for the winner, it looks a fascinating encounter, with neither player having won a Grand Slam thus far in their careers.
The 22-year-old Ruud does boast more experience, though the manner in which Alcaraz has battled through epic encounter after epic encounter has been thrilling.
