After eliminating Rafa Nadal in the quarterfinals and defeating 'Nole' in the process, the 19-year-old tennis player will now face the winner of the last match of the day, the second semifinal between Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and German Alexander Zverev, the reigning champion of the Madrid tournament.

Alcaraz, who will become the sixth-ranked player in the world on Monday, became the youngest finalist in the tournament and the second youngest to defeat the Balkan player after Filip Krajinovic, who was 18 years old.

In an epic and dramatic duel, resolved after three hours and 35 minutes of play, the Spanish player achieved his ninth consecutive victory and won his sixth consecutive match against a 'top ten' player.

Alcaraz, who on Friday became the youngest player to defeat Rafael Nadal on clay, is the first player of his age to defeat both Nadal and Djokovic consecutively. The player from El Palmar is on the verge of his fifth title of his career, the fourth of this season, after Rio de Janeiro, the Miami Masters 1000, and Barcelona.
