After the big thriller against Yannick Zinner, the fourth seed again needed a big drama of five sets - for the third time in a row - and again he succeeded, this time against the man who ousted Rafael Nadal.

Alcaras knew how to come back from behind, and after losing the fourth set in another tiebreaker, he showed a lot of character and took another step towards the title, in what will be the first Grand Slam final of his young career.

"You have to give everything in a Grand Slam semifinal," he said at the end of 4 hours and 19 minutes of play.

"You have to fight until the last ball, it doesn't matter if we were here for five or six hours. Frances also gave everything. It's amazing. First time in a Grand Slam final, you can see the first place, but it's still far. I have a match against an amazing player He was already in the Grand Slam final, for me this is the first time. I will have to give everything."

The Norwegian's incredible year continues: after qualifying for the Roland Garros final, he has now made another final and is one match away from his first career Grand Slam title, and an unexpected promotion to the top spot in the world rankings.

"It was another big game of mine," he said at the end.

"We were both pretty stressed at the beginning, in what was probably the biggest match of our careers. I'm just happy, I thought Roland Garros would be my only Grand Slam final, and here I am again, after a few months. It's hard to describe it in words."
