US Open: Bitter tournament end for super talent Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals

“Tough scene on Ashe,” tweeted the tournament organizer of the US Open and showed the video in which Carlos Alcaraz’s dream of making it to the semi-finals shattered. The Spaniard went online in the sold-out Artur Ashe Stadium, clapping with Félix Auger-Aliassime.

68 minutes had been played by then.

An extremely bitter end for the 18-year-old, who thrilled the tennis world with his third round victory over world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Auger-Aliassime: “I didn’t want to win like that”

“Until the moment when he called the physio, I didn’t notice anything. Carlos is such a good player. I’m really sorry for him, but of course I didn’t want to win like that either,” said Auger-Aliassime.

The world number 15. is in a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time and scores on Friday (live on TV at Eurosport) on Daniil Medvedev.

The Russian already prevailed in the day session with 3: 6, 0: 6, 6: 4, 5: 7 against the Dutch qualifier Botic van de Zandschulp.

“Daniil, along with Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zvrev, is one of the three best hard court players in the world. I hope I can annoy him a little,” said Auger-Aliassime.
