The next generation is already here.
The pair of semi-finals will take place tonight (between Friday and Saturday) in New York and at the end of the two games it was determined that Carlos Alcaraz will meet Casper Rod in the grand final in less than 48 hours when the winner will take the first place in the world.
The 19-year-old Alcaras survived another thriller tonight, again in five sets, when he won at the Arthur Ashe Stadium 7:6 (6), 3:6, 1:6, 7:6 (5), 3:6 over Frances Tiapo, As I recall, he was the one who unexpectedly knocked out Rafa Nadal.
This time the rising talent from Spain needed more than four hours of tennis in order to secure his place in the final not before he knew how to come back from a set behind, after losing the fourth set in a tiebreaker.

In the fifth set, the Spaniard already raised a gear and ended the story on the way to a justified 3:6.
And if he wins on Sunday night, Carlos Alcaraz will become the youngest person to hold the title in New York.
The first to take his place in the grand final in New York, which will be held on Monday, was Kasper Rode, who beat Karen Khachanov 1:3 in sets and is now one match away from winning the first Grand Slam title of his career.

Khachanov achieved a critical break in the third set, which he finished with a dramatic 5:7, but in the fourth set, Rod regained his composure with another 2:6 on the way to the highlight of his career.
