Carlos Alcaraz defeated Casper Ruud in the US Open final to win his maiden grand slam trophy last night to give Spain another winner.
The Spaniard bested Ruud in a four-set match which concluded a superb event for him, one where he had to save match points earlier in the event. He played a great match and wowed many with the explosive play that pushed him to number one on the ATP Rankings today.
It's an incredible achievement with many Spaniards on social media congratulation Alcaraz on it. One of them was Rafael Nadal who wrote on Twitter:
"Congratulations Carlos Alcaraz for your first Grand Slam and [world] No. 1, which tops off your first great season, which I am sure will be the first of many."
He also praised Ruud for his efforts:
“Great effort Casper Ruud! Very proud of you! Tough luck today but amazing tournament and season! Keep going!”
Nadal tweeted it immediately upon conclusion of the match, 01:40 in the morning, local Spanish time. It seems like was staying up to watch the match.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
