What a year it is turning out to be for Carlos Alcaraz! At just 19, the Spaniard has reached his maiden Grand Slam final. Earlier today, he defeated Frances Tiafoe in an entertaining semifinal match. With this, he also put an end to the local hopes, who had backed Tiafoe for this year’s US Open title.
Alcaraz has already had some big title wins this season. Earlier this year, he won the Madrid Open, Barcelona Open, Miami Masters, and the Rio Open title. However, a Grand Slam title has eluded him so far in his career. Nonetheless, the Spanish sensation has a glorious chance to create history now. Further, social media was all praise for Alcaraz after he defeated Tiafoe.
