Carlos Alcaraz has made history. The 19-year-old phenom won the US Open, defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3, and will become the youngest player ever to rise to No. 1 in the ATP rankings.
Alcaraz looked less sharp than he had in the past few matches, but that's likely because he played three consecutive five-setters to get to the final match. Despite that, whenever he plays, it's like he's used video game cheat codes on himself, and Sunday was no exception.
But Ruud matched him shot for shot, and found ways to beat him soundly.
