Carlos Alcaraz to play for US Open title shot at No. 1 ranking after 5-set win over Frances Tiafoe
Casper Roode reaches the US Open final for his first Grand Slam title, within reach of the No. 1 ranking.
New York— Casper Rudd held off a 55-shot lead over Karen Khachanov to close out the first set of their U.S. Open semifinal, 7-6 (5), 6-2, 5- 7, a 6-2 victory on Friday that put him in his second Grand Slam title match of the year.
After the game, the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium screamed his name, “Rookwood!” as if rumbling rather than saluting. Runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the French Open in June, the 23-year-old Norwegian Rood can move from No. 7 to No. 1 in the rankings if he wins the championship at Flushing Meadows on Sunday.
“I was delighted after Roland Garros,” Ruud recalled, “but also quite humbled to realize that this could be the only final of my career.”
Well, here he is, back on the stage just a few months later. He will face No. 3 seed Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, who beat Francis Tiafoe in the latter semi-final on Friday.
The victor of Sunday’s final will dethrone Daniil Medvedev as the new men’s world No. 1 in 2021.
All four men’s semi-finalists were making their debut in this round in New York. It hadn’t happened at the event since 1881 when it had to: it was the inaugural edition of what was then known as the U.S. Championship.
Ruud is coached by his father, Christian, a former professional player, and the game plan worked for most of the day against 31st-ranked Khachanov, a 6-foot-6 Russian with a powerful serve. who defeated Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios. Five sets in the quarterfinals.
To minimize the impact of Khachanov’s serves, Ruud will line up behind the baseline to return, then try to dominate exchanges from the baseline. Ruud used impeccable footwork to defend one-on-one and find open lanes to deliver deep groundstrokes that could finish off points.
He came up with the occasional spectacular performance, such as an over-the-shoulder volley that put him up 6-3 in the tiebreaker. Moments later came match point, Ruud’s third chance to end the set. It lasted 75 seconds and was 19 more strokes than the second-longest rally of the entire two weeks, ending with a down-the-line backhand from Ruud that responded with a net four. hand drawn
His father smiled. His child raised both arms and placed two fingers on his right hand. There could only be an index finger to indicate the number 1, which could soon be next to his name.
Khachanov hadn’t missed a 55-shot rally in his career, and although he hated to lose it, he was initially encouraged by the way he played later in the set. Carlos Alcaraz to play
“I was so pleased that we had this long rally that was driving both of us,” he added. “I felt like, ‘Well, it hurts to lose the set with that point.’ On the other hand, I felt, “OK, we’re going too far now, let’s keep going.”
Ruud broke to lead 2-1 in the second set and was on his way. After Khachanov made things a little more interesting with a late lead in the third, Rosewood took a 2-1 lead in the fourth, ripping a low forehand winner from doubles alley.
It’s the latest step in a real breakthrough for Ruud in the Grand Slam game. He came into the year with just a 14-13 record in the sport’s most important events—3-4 in New York, where his previous best showing came in the third round in 2020—before losing to the Australian. had to sit outside. He made his debut in January after spraining his ankle the day before the event.
Salisbury repeats as US Open men’s doubles champions.
New York— Joe Salisbury dropped overhead, raised his arms and hugged partner Rajeev Ram to win another U.S. Open men’s doubles title.
There was no celebration beyond that. The British players didn’t like it when there was so much grief at home after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
“I don’t completely consider it’s appropriate to celebrate, or even express it to a limit, considering the way that obviously everyone back home and all through the world is in melancholy the present moment, and it’s miserable,” she says.,” Salisbury said on Friday. “It’s an inconvenient time,” Salisbury said on Friday.
“It feels a little weird to be in this situation.” We’re very happy with the success that we’ve had, but, yeah, it’s a sad time right now. “
Salisbury and Ram became only the second team to repeat as men’s doubles champions at the US Open in the professional era with a 7-6 (4), 7-5 victory over Wesley Kohlhoff and Neil Skupski. Carlos Alcaraz to play
Salisbury wore a black stripe around his left arm on his shirt, while Skopski, who is also British, wore a black ribbon across his chest. The two teams played semi-final matches on Thursday, and the Queen’s death was announced on TV shortly after Salisbury and Ram won.
I haven’t seen much news. But obviously, the country and the world are incredibly saddened by what he’s done, “Skipski said.
“It was a piece strange.” We were playing when the country was clearly in lamenting.”
Salisbury and Skipski will team up to play doubles for Great Britain at the Davis Cup next week. They could face the Rams, who are on the US roster in the same group.
With his 17th straight US Open triumph in men’s and mixed doubles combined, Salisbury ensured he would remain No. 1 in the doubles rankings. That made him and Ram the only pair other than the top-seeded team, Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodford, to go back-to-back in New York since 1968. In 1995 and 1996, the Australian Hall of Fame duo won.
“If you can mimic them in anything in tennis,” Hammer remarked. I’m sure we’ll discuss it at some time. It’s pretty good for us, I’d say.
