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 continues with his winning streak in this US Open after convincingly defeating Jiri Lehecka. The Spaniard is already in the semifinals of the American major, marking his ninth Grand Slam semifinal appearance. In fact, he is the third youngest player in history (22 years and 120 days) to reach his ninth semifinal in a 'Major'. Only Rafael Nadal and Björn Borg have achieved this at a younger age, both at 22 years and 92 days.

Brad Gilbert was one of the most important figures in Andre Agassi's career; with his guidance, Agassi reached number one and won six of the eight Grand Slams he holds. In an interview on Andy Roddick's podcast, he clearly states who resembles his former protege: "If you throw Andre Agassi and Novak Djokovic into a blender, you get Jannik Sinner".

The US Open usually has big celebrities in its stands, and today one of them was the Spanish singer Rosalia. The artist didn't want to miss her compatriot Carlos Alcaraz's 'show' in his victory against Jiri Lehecka, in a match where the Murcian has left the crowd amazed on more than one occasion.

Carlos Alcaraz spoke with Álex Corretja for Movistar+ at the end of his match with Jiri Lehecka and highlighted the great confidence he holds in this US Open 2025. "I'm feeling very good, seeing that I'm winning matches without dropping a set is fantastic. The team is helping me a lot, the truth is that I have great confidence," he commented before talking about the mental shift that is noticeable in him. "I'm maturing, I have learned to manage many things that happen off-court, which gives me a lot of peace of mind to compete," he emphasized.

Carlos Alcaraz continues to amaze with triumphant precocity data that defies logic. After reaching the semifinals of the US Open 2025, he becomes the youngest tennis player in history to reach this stage in Grand Slams of all surfaces in more than one season, having done so in 2023 and 2025. The most impressive part is that he keeps alive the possibility of matching Borg, Nadal, and Becker as the only players capable of reaching 10 Grand Slam semifinals before turning 23. He will achieve this if he reaches this stage at the 2026 Australian Open.
