Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz delivered a dominant performance as he thrashed Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets to secure a spot in the Olympic men’s singles final.
The four-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz showcased his exceptional skill and determination as he claimed a resounding 6-1, 6-1 victory against the 13th seed Auger-Aliassime at the iconic Roland Garros venue. This triumph marks Alcaraz’s third major final appearance in a span of just two months, underlining his remarkable form and prowess on the court.
Notably, the 21-year-old tennis prodigy emerged victorious at the French Open in June, triumphing on the same hallowed grounds of Roland Garros before securing another impressive win at Wimbledon last month. Alcaraz’s consistently remarkable performances have solidified his status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional tennis.
Looking ahead, Alcaraz is poised to face the formidable challenge of either Serbia’s Novak Djokovic or Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the highly anticipated Sunday’s showpiece final. The outcome of the Djokovic-Musetti semi-final, scheduled for 18:00 BST on Friday, will determine Alcaraz’s opponent in the final showdown.
Top seed Djokovic, a remarkable 24-time Grand Slam winner, is on a quest to claim his first Olympic gold medal, a prestigious accolade that has eluded him thus far and represents the sole major title absent from his illustrious collection of achievements.
If the 37-year-old tennis maestro manages to conquer the challenge posed by the 11th seed Musetti, he will set the stage for an electrifying rematch of last month’s gripping Wimbledon final against Alcaraz, a thrilling encounter that saw the talented Spaniard emerge triumphant in straight sets.
