Carlos Alcaraz defeated Frances Tiafoe in a gladiatorial US Open semi-final on Friday, setting up a showdown for the title and world number one ranking against Casper Ruud.

The 19-year-old Spaniard triumphed 6-7 , 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 , 6-3 to become the youngest men’s Grand Slam finalist since compatriot Rafael Nadal captured the first of his 22 Slams at the 2005 French Open.

Tiafoe went down fighting, however, saving three match points and retrieving breaks in both of the last two sets. “It doesn’t matter if you’re fighting for five hours or six hours. It doesn’t matter, you have to give everything on court.” “It’s my first time in a final of a Grand Slam. I can see the number one in the world, but at the same time it’s so far away,” he added.“I’m going to give everything that I have. I will have to handle the nerves of being in the final of a Grand Slam but obviously I’m really happy.”“Honestly I came here wanting to win the US Open, I feel like I let you guys down. This one really hurts.”
