Carlos Alcaraz wants the gold. The Spanish player is already in the semifinals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after defeating one of his toughest rivals: Tommy Paul. The player from Murcia won by 6-2 7-6(3) in a match that showcased his best tennis, raising his level with each point. The American fought hard and threatened to push the match to a third set, but Carlos stepped up his game to seal the victory. Now, Alcaraz is just one match away from securing a medal in his first Olympic appearance. He is now waiting for Casper Ruud or Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Carlos needed to shake off the physical and mental aftermath of his defeat alongside Rafa Nadal in yesterday's doubles Olympic tournament. And he did it right, as the player from Murcia started with some mistakes that he quickly corrected when he focused on his match. Paul had begun the match well, showing excellent control with his racket and forehand, while Carlos was struggling to find a way to make an impact. However, everything changed with his growing motivation in each service game.

Gradually, the Spaniard found his rhythm to put pressure on the American, who started experiencing difficulties as Carlos began to play with confidence. Paul couldn't handle Carlos's dominance from the baseline, allowing Carlos to break and take the lead. Despite facing a slight setback, Carlos's serve remained his greatest asset. Thus, the player from Murcia delivered one of his best sets in the tournament to move ahead, just a few points away from the semifinals.

A Hard-Fought but Happy Ending

Carlos continued to press in the early stages of the second set with Paul struggling and making mistakes with his forehand. However, the American didn't give up despite a noticeable drop in Carlos's performance. Paul excelled at the net, forcing Carlos to defend repeatedly. The player from Murcia persisted until finally securing the break that leveled the set with a spectacular passing shot. Full of confidence, Carlos had to hold off a resurgent Paul, who was playing his best tennis at this stage of the match. It all came down to an intense tiebreak in which Alcaraz displayed his courage and talent to overcome a determined Paul. Now onto the semifinals!
