Carlos Alcaraz at the 2022 U.S Open
Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz defeated Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3 on a momentous night of top-class Tennis at the US Open to win his first Grand Slam trophy and claim the #1 spot in the ATP’s World Men’s Tennis Rankings.
Alcaraz played six matches over the course of 20 hours and 19 minutes, winning three of them in five sets in a row to advance to his maiden Grand Slam final. He didn’t appear to be exhausted, though, as he defeated Ruud.
