In a stunning display of dominance, Carlos Alcaraz effortlessly cruised through his semifinal match at the Paris Games, leaving Felix Auger-Aliassime in his wake with a resounding 6-1, 6-1 victory. The Spaniard, just 21 years old, is on the cusp of making history as the youngest man to claim an Olympics tennis singles gold medal, already boasting an impressive four Grand Slam titles under his belt, including a recent triumph at Roland Garros.
As Alcaraz took to Court Philippe Chatrier, the atmosphere was electric, with a sea of red-and-yellow Spanish flags fluttering in the stands and chants of “Vamos, Carlos!” ringing out. The young talent remained unflappable throughout the match, never once facing a break point against his opponent.
Auger-Aliassime, a 23-year-old Canadian with a semifinal appearance at the 2021 U.S. Open as his best result in a major tournament, found himself outplayed by the formidable Alcaraz. Their previous encounter at the U.S. Open saw Alcaraz forced to retire in the second set due to injury, but this time around, the Spanish star proved his mettle as a much-improved player.
Having racked up an impressive 12-match winning streak at Roland Garros and clinching a second consecutive Wimbledon title just last month, Alcaraz is in the form of his life as he aims to etch his name in the history books at the Olympics. With his remarkable skills on full display, the tennis world can only watch in awe as this young prodigy continues to dazzle and dominate on the court.
