Alcaraz Auger-Aliassime Jeux Olympiques

Carlos Alcaraz is in the final of the Olympic Games.

As mature as ever for his young age (21), the Spanish prodigy will have his sights set on his first Olympic gold medal this Sunday. Pretty crazy!

After a very solid tournament, Alcaraz stepped up another notch in the semi-finals, giving a tennis lesson to a completely outmatched Felix Auger-Aliassime (6-1, 6-1).

At the end of the match, the current world number 3 made no secret of his satisfaction, but also had a very fair word for his victim of the day, explaining that the Canadian was certainly not in the best of moods.

Not one to boast, "Carlito" declared: "If it was my best match since the start of the tournament? Yes, I think it was.

I have to say that yesterday was very difficult for Felix (Auger-Aliassime). He played a very tough match in singles and mixed doubles.

He finished late. He didn't have much time to rest and probably couldn't play his best tennis physically. I have to admit that.

But I have to concentrate on my game. I'm very happy with my performance. One of the best so far. I'm very happy with that feeling."
