Alcaraz and Nadal, the two youngest tennis players to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam without losing a set

Once again, comparisons between Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are inevitable. Both are having very similar early career paths, and there is a new fact that confirms it. The two Spaniards are the two youngest tennis players to reach a Grand Slam semifinal without dropping a single set. The Mallorcan did it at Roland Garros 2008, and the Murcian at this US Open 2025.

Carlos Alcaraz becomes the youngest man to reach a Grand Slam Semifinal without dropping a set since Rafa Nadal in 2008.

Huge stat.
