Paris Olympics tennis: Carlos Alcaraz thrashes Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach men’s final
Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz thrashed Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets to reach the Olympic men’s singles final.
Four-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz won 6-1 6-1 against 13th seed Auger-Aliassime at Roland Garros and will now contest his third major final in two months.
The 21-year-old won the French Open at the same venue in Paris in June, before triumphing at Wimbledon last month.
Alcaraz will face either Serbia’s Novak Djokovic or Italian Lorenzo Musetti in Sunday’s showpiece, with the pair set to play their semi-final at 18:00 BST on Friday.
Top seed Djokovic – a 24-time Grand Slam winner – is seeking a first Olympic gold medal and the one major title missing from his illustrious collection.
If the 37-year-old overcomes 11th seed Musetti, he will set up a repeat of last month’s Wimbledon final against Alcaraz, which the Spaniard won in straight sets.
