Carlos Alcaraz defeated Casper Ruud in the US Open Final. The win makes Alacaraz the youngest No. 1 in the history of the ATP rankings. [Previous story, published at 6:47 a.m. ET] When Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz meet in the US Open final, there won’t just be a maiden grand slam title on the line, but a place at the top of the world rankings, too. The high-stakes encounter sees Ruud competing in his second major final and Alcaraz his first.
At least, that’s what Tiafoe predicted as he paid tribute to Alcaraz after their semifinal, calling his opponent “a hell of a player” and “a hell of a person.” Alcaraz, a clay court specialist who has drawn comparisons to compatriot and 22-time grand slam champion Nadal, is just the second teenager in the Open Era to make the US Open final after Pete Sampras. Regardless of the scoreline on Sunday, his future looks bright.
