Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the Olympic men's singles final with a commanding 6-1, 6-1 victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime. This win places him on the brink of becoming the youngest Olympic gold medalist in men's tennis.
Alcaraz, already a four-time Grand Slam champion, showcased his dominance on the clay courts of Roland Garros. His powerful groundstrokes, deft net play, and incredible speed overwhelmed Auger-Aliassime. The Canadian, despite his talent, was unable to find a rhythm against the in-form Spaniard.

With a passionate Spanish crowd cheering him on, Alcaraz played flawlessly, never facing a break point. His journey to the final has been nothing short of spectacular, including recent triumphs at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, where he defeated Novak Djokovic on both occasions.
A potential rematch against Djokovic awaits in the final. The Serbian, however, is nursing a knee injury and faces a tough semifinal against Lorenzo Musetti.

Alcaraz is undoubtedly the favorite for gold, but tennis is a sport full of surprises. The world will be watching as he chases Olympic glory.
