Carlos Alcaraz prevails over Jannik Sinner in latest ever US Open ... (The Guardian)

Carlos Alcaraz won a spellbinding battle of the young guns against Jannik Sinner to reach his first grand slam semi-final in the US Open's latest ever ...

But this time it was Alcaraz pinching a set, saving a match point at 5-4 and winning the final four games to force a decider. After breaking his opponent when he served for it at 6-5, Sinner won seven straight points to take the tie-break. This time it was Sinner who moved into an early lead, his flat hitting giving him the initiative, and he maintained his advantage until he came to serve for it at 5-4, when Alcaraz broke back. The Spaniard looked poised to take the set when he moved to 0-40 in Sinner’s next service game only for the Italian to produce some clutch serving when he needed it most. Sinner made a nervous start, double-faulting three times in his opening service game, and, although he quickly broke back, Alcaraz was hitting his shots with the greater conviction and deservedly took the first set. He could yet leave New York as the world No 1 but, in a tournament that appears to have finally signalled a real changing of the guard, this match was more than anything a demonstration that men’s tennis need not be scared of a future without its ageing superstars.

He is one of three Americans to reach the quarterfinals of the men's and women's singles, but the only one left standing in the semis. Rublev tearily bit down on a tennis ball and sat with his face buried in a towel after Tiafoe triumphed in a 16-shot rally to get the only break of the match in the seventh game of the third set. "We've got two more."

US Open tennis results: Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz seals ... (7NEWS.com.au)

Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz has reached his first grand slam semi-final - now he has a date with an American on a mission.

I want to play, I want to give my best. The son of immigrants from Sierra Leone, Tiafoe picked up the sport at a tennis centre in Maryland where his father was the caretaker and where he used to sleep on the floor. It’s huge growth. “Biggest win of my life, coming out and getting another big win. The 24-year-old pulled off the win of his life against Nadal in the fourth round but this was just as impressive, with Tiafoe keeping his composure while Russian Rublev became increasingly frustrated to claim a 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-0) 6-4 victory. Not since Andy Roddick in 2006 has a home player reached the last four in the men’s singles, and Tiafoe is attempting to become the first home champion since Roddick won his only slam title in 2003.

Extravagant Carlos Alcaraz unleashes total tennis in quest for US ... (The Guardian)

Carlos Alcaraz paired his athleticism and shotmaking to outlast Jannik Sinner in an instant US Open classic and fill several highlight reels.

Few sports in the world spend as much time obsessing over its relevance as tennis, with pundits and even players constantly debating whether certain players or events are “good for the game”, particularly as the ageing legends begin to depart. Alcaraz and the 21-year-old Sinner had spent four hours utterly destroying the ball, flitting from side to side and using every inch of the court. One time he slid into the splits while chasing down a ball, then fell, got up and calmly threaded a backhand down the line past Sinner. Both players chased after the ball at full sprint until the very end, and [the latest ever finish at the US Open](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/sep/08/carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-match-late-finish-tennis-us-open). Not long after he somehow sweetly struck a behind-the-back shot, then slid into the forecourt and rolled a backhand passing-shot winner. For most of the first four sets, Sinner attacked without hesitation anytime the moment required it. In the face of Alcaraz’s total tennis, Sinner was competitive for just under four long sets. As Carlos Alcaraz sat down in the early hours of Thursday morning, time was running out and he knew it. Alcaraz’s movement alone is unlike anything else in the world right now and he soaked up so much of Sinner’s destructive power. In his short career, the 19-year-old has established a reputation for taking defeats with perspective and a smile on his face, but this time he had nothing. But he pairs his athleticism with his own brutal shotmaking and his extravagant all-court style.
