1 week agoCan Carlos Alcaraz finally win the Australian Open?
Carlos Alcaraz has yet to reach an Australian Open semifinal or win the title despite dominance at the other three majors.
Felix Auger-Aliassime earned a hard-fought 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4) win over No. 8 Alex De Minaur on Wednesday to return to the US Open semifinals four years after his first appearance. The 25th-seeded Auger-Aliassime, a 25-year-old Canadian, was a semifinalist at Flushing Meadows in 2021, his only other time reaching that stage of a major. With his wins over No. 3 Alexander Zverev, No. 15 Andrey Rublev and now De Minaur, it's the first time Auger-Aliassime has beaten multiple ATP Top-20 players in the same major.
