At 19 years, 4 months and 6 days, Carlos Alcaraz has the opportunity to be the second youngest tennis player to win the US Open in the Open Era (since 1969), only surpassed by Pete Sampras in 1990 (19 years and 29 days). .AND FOURTH SPANISH WINNER OF THE US OPEN. Carlos Alcaraz could be the fourth Spanish player to win at the US Open after Manuel Santana (1965), Manuel Orantes (1975) and Rafa Nadal (2010, 2013, 2017 and 2019).SPANISH NINTH WITH A GRAND SLAM.
