Carlos Alcaraz is in the final of the Olympic Games.
With a maturity that is still astonishing for his young age (21 years old), the Spanish prodigy will have the opportunity, this Sunday, to aim for a first Olympic gold medal. Pretty crazy!
After a very solid tournament, Alcaraz moved up another notch in the semi-final, giving a real tennis lesson to a completely overwhelmed Félix Auger-Aliassime (6-1, 6-1).
At the end of the game, the current world number 3 did not hide his satisfaction, but he also had a very fair word for his victim of the day, explaining that the Canadian was surely not in the best possible frame of mind.
Not bragging, “Carlito” said: “Was it my best match since the start of the tournament? Yes, I think so.
I have to say that yesterday was a very difficult day for Felix (Auger-Aliassime). He played a very difficult match in singles and mixed doubles.
He finished late. He didn’t have much time to rest and he probably couldn’t play his best tennis physically. I have to admit that.
But I have to focus on my game. I’m very happy with my performance. One of the best so far. I’m very happy with this feeling.”
