After dropping the opener in a tiebreak, Alcaraz came roaring back into the contest - conceding only four games in the next two sets. Tiafoe stymied the Spaniard's juggernaut by taking the fourth in another tiebreak. Although the American recovered from a break down in the decider, he was powerless to stop Alcaraz from wheezing past the finish line.

He's a hell of a player. He's going to be a problem for a very long time." Frances Tiafoe also lauded Alcaraz for his impressive composure in big moments despite his young age."For him to be so young, being so poised in big moments, I take my hat off and I got a lot of respect for him," he said. Alcaraz will now look to become only the second teenager after Pete Sampras in 1990 to triumph at Flushing Meadows.
