Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the 2023 US Open. The match was a thrilling affair, with both players hitting some incredible shots. Alcaraz was ultimately too strong for Zverev, but the German made him work for every point.

Alcaraz is now one match away from reaching the US Open final. He will face Casper Ruud in the semifinals on Friday.

Zverev's Comeback Falls Short

Zverev had a chance to come back and win the match in the third set. He broke Alcaraz's serve to take a 4-3 lead, but Alcaraz broke right back to level the set at 4-4. Alcaraz then held his serve and broke Zverev's serve again to win the match.

Zverev was disappointed with the loss, but he gave credit to Alcaraz for playing better on the day. "He's a great player," Zverev said. "He's going to be a top player for many years to come."

Alcaraz Continues to Impress

Alcaraz has been one of the most impressive players on the ATP Tour this year. He has won three titles, including the Madrid Open and the Barcelona Open. He is also the youngest player to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open since Andre Agassi in 1988.

Alcaraz is now one of the favorites to win the US Open. He has a big serve, a powerful forehand, and a great all-around game. He is also very confident in his ability.

If Alcaraz can win the US Open, he will become the youngest player to win a Grand Slam title since Rafael Nadal in 2005. He will also become the first Spanish player to win the US Open since Nadal in 2013.
