In a thrilling display of agility and skill, tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz stormed into the final of the prestigious China Open tournament, defeating Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-3 in a gripping semifinal clash.
“I’m absolutely delighted with my performance today,” Alcaraz beamed. “I couldn’t have asked for a more convincing win in the semis.”
The 21-year-old Spanish ace, who has already claimed four Grand Slam titles this year, including the French Open and Wimbledon crowns, now boasts an impressive 6-2 head-to-head record against the Russian opponent.
Alcaraz will face either top-seeded Jannik Sinner or Chinese wild card Bu Yunchaokete in the highly anticipated final, set to take place later today.
In a seesaw first set that witnessed five service breaks, Alcaraz’s third break in the 12th game proved decisive, securing the set and setting the tone for the rest of the match.
With his confidence soaring, Alcaraz dominated the second set, leaving Medvedev struggling to find a response as the Spaniard wrapped up the semifinal in a brisk 88 minutes.
This victory marks Alcaraz’s eighth consecutive win, a streak that began after his loss to Botic Van De Zandschulp in the second round of the U.S. Open, and includes triumphs in the Davis Cup and Laver Cup.
