    Insane from Alcaraz coming through his third consecutive 5 setter and will face Ruud in the final.

    Winner will become the new world number 1.

    Crazy from a 19 year old. Even if he doesn’t win this weekend (I expect he will), he’s going to be untouchable in 3-4 years time.

    On the same trajectory as Nadal

    He's so good.

    I think even now he's better than Ruud, but he's had the longer matches... Will be interesting.

    Glad they've both made it, having a match for a maiden GS & World number 1 is class.

    Swiatek wins the women’s title with a 6-2 7-6(5) victory over Jabeur.

    Firmly cements herself as the best female player in the world.

    One set apiece between Alcaraz and Ruud.

    On serve at 5-5 in the third set.

    Alcaraz saves set point at 5-6 down. Then wins the tie break convincingly 7-1.

    One set away from his first major title. Ruud must be kicking himself for letting that slip.

    Got to be tough to pick yourself up again after that.

    Hope Ruud gets the 4th, a close 5th set would be perfect.

    It's somehow difficult to get one's head around the Big Three who have 63 Grand Slams between them are being replaced at World no. 1 with a 19 year old who has just won his first. That said, he is younger than any of those three when they did so and that in itself is an achievement.

    Alcaraz is going to be a force for years to come. Tough to say anyone will get to 20+ slams but he's got the best chance at it of anyone that's emerged since Roger/Rafa/Novax.

    Let's see what happens, same things being said about Raducanu a year ago.

    Alcaraz has been playing well for a long time and proven himself at the top.
