Carlos Alcaraz Garfia reached the semi-finals for the first time Grand Slam. this Epic win over Jannik Sinner It will allow him to face American Frances Tiafoe, whose place is in jeopardy, in the final of the US Open. The match aroused great anticipation as it pitted a local player against one of the new stars of world tennis who would become the world’s new No. 1 if he won the tournament.

Murcian will no longer have the support of the public against the 24-year-old opponent and number 26 in the world rankings. He said he had an uneven year, didn’t add a single title, and Alcaraz won 25 games and suffered 18 losses for a 49-9 balance. But not as mobile as Juan Carlos Ferrero’s disciple, Tiafoe, a strong player, grew up at the US Open. Defeated Marcos Giron, Jason Kluber, Diego Schwartzman and Andery Rublev in three sets, the latter in the quarterfinals. His only set during the tournament was in the fourth round against his opponent. Raphael Nadal.

Alcaraz and Tiafoe have faced each other only once in their career.At the Conde de Godó in Barcelona in 2021, when Murcian isn’t even in the ‘top 100’ yet. Therefore, it is a precedent that does not serve as a reference. So far, the best results in 2022 for the American are a finalist at the ATP 250 in Estoril and a semi-finalist in Atlanta, where he fell to Sebastian Baez. He fell in the second round at the Grand Slam at Australia and Roland Garros and reached the last 16 at Wimbledon.

It will be a different battle for Alcaraz than any that has been fought so far.. The main handicap for the player growing up at Real Sociedad Club de Campo could be the accumulated wear and tear in the last two rounds and the intensity on the pitch against Sinner and Cilic in the new hours. He also rested less than his competitor.. But the prize is huge, reaching the final at ten o’clock on Sunday and guaranteeing number one in the world despite Casper Ruud being the winner of this ‘big’, so all the wear and tear that has accumulated over those two weeks will definitely end up in the locker room.

When does it play and when

The meeting is set for one o’clock this morning in America’s prime time. Like all US Open matches, it can be followed on Eurosport.
