Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz produced an instant classic in the US Open quarterfinals at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday night.After taking the opening set, Alcaraz could have closed out a win in three sets or four but instead found himself match point down on Sinner's serve. To his credit, though, the Spaniard broke twice to force a decider.With the shot-making from both players hitting an insane level, Sinner once again rued squandering a break of serve in the fifth as Alcaraz reigned supreme in a 5-hour 15-minute classic. At 2:49 am local time, it also marked the latest finish to a US Open match.US Open Tennis@usopenUn-believable.@carlosalcaraz we have no words.2137658Un-believable.@carlosalcaraz we have no words. https://t.co/3fflDLRiUbAlcaraz is now into his first Major semifinal and is potentially a win away from becoming the first teenager in ATP history to become the World No. 1. That will happen if the Spaniard reaches the final, and Casper Ruud doesn't. If both men reach the title match, the winner will be crowned the No. 1.Meanwhile, here are the reactions from the tennis world - both former and active players - after a match for the ages between two of the game's potential superstars:Coco Gauff tweeted:"This match is insane.

Both men need to reach the final to stand a chance of doing so.In what has been a banner year for Alcaraz, having won two Masters 1000 titles and reaching a first Major semifinal, the Spaniard is now two wins away from becoming only the second teenager to win the US Open.The Spaniard is the youngest back-to-back quarterfinalist in New York. Pete Sampras (1990) remains the only teenager to win at Flushing Meadows. Alcaraz is already assured of breaking into the top three next week, and it would get better still if he wins his first Grand Slam title, which will confirm him as the new No. 1 in the ATP rankings.Also Checkout:- US Open 2022 Schedule
