The chance to hoist a Grand Slam trophy and perhaps the No. 1 ranking in the world is on the line Sunday when Casper Ruud takes on 19-year old Carlos Alcaraz in the finals of the U.S. Open.
Ruud advanced to the final with a four-set victory (7-6 (5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2) over Karen Khachanov, including an incredible 55-shot point to clinch the first set. Ruud, the No. 5 seed, will try to breakthrough with a Grand Slam tournament victory after getting to the finals of the French Open, where he lost to Rafael Nadal.
Alcaraz took out fan favorite Frances Tiafoe in five sets (6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3) in the other semifinal to reach his first Grand Slam final. Third-seeded Alcaraz took advantage of Tiafoe's 52 unforced errors en route to a thrilling victory. Before this tournament, Alcaraz's best showing in a Grand Slam was the fourth round at Wimbledon this year and a victory would make Alcaraz the youngest No. 1 ranked player since 1973, when computerized rankings began.
