MADRID -- After beating Rafael Nadal on Friday, Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz did it again with an upset of world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the Madrid Open on Saturday.
After defeating Nadal, his idol, in the quarterfinals, the 19-year-old Alcaraz rallied to beat Djokovic 6-7 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) in a match that lasted more than 3 1/2 hours to reach the Madrid Open final.
Alcaraz converted on his third match point to clinch the victory in front of a raucous home crowd on the Caja Magica center court.
A win on Sunday will give Alcaraz his fourth title this season, the most of any player.
