Norway's Casper Ruud Reaches U.S. Open Final, Can Earn World ... (Forbes)

Sometimes one point can change the tone of an entire tennis match. That looked to be the case when Casper Ruud and Karen Khachanov engaged in a 55-ball ...

“I think basically in Norway you play a lot on clay in the summer, and his game style suits maybe clay better,” he said. The more you play on hard court, the more confident you get. “So it was never like he cannot play on hard court, because we play on hard court during the winter. Ruud would be the fourth and the first from Norway. He closed it out at love on his serve, hitting a nifty forehand drop shot on match point, with the crowd soon shouting “Ruud.” The way the first set ended surely took an emotional toll on Khachanov, who took out Nick Kyrgios in a rugged five-set quarterfinal to reach his first-ever Slam semi. This is a Grand Slam the last 18 or 19 years that had more winners than the rest of them, because I'm not sure why, but there is something special I guess with this place. If Alcaraz wins, he and Ruud will play for the No. In Sunday’s final, Ruud will face the winner of the second semifinal between No. Ruud is seeking to become the third straight man to win his first major at the U.S. The point, and the title, were won by Borg, one of three Scandinavians — along with fellow Swedes Mats Wilander and Stefan Edberg — to hold world No. 5 seed from Norway, went on to win the match over the Russian, 7-6(5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, to advance to his second Grand Slam final.

Casper Ruud books place in US Open final by battling past Karen ... (The Guardian)

Casper Ruud beat Karen Khachanov 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 5-7 6-2 in the US Open semi-final to make his second grand slam final of the season.

With hard work, humility and a cool head, Ruud will continue to be in the frame. Consistency won out as Ruud took the tiebreak 7-5 with the longest rally of the tournament, refusing to miss and scampering around the court in defence. Khachanov served well throughout the set and the pressure grew until Ruud’s nerves finally betrayed him at 5-6 as he dumped a forehand into the net on set point. By reaching the final Ruud, the fifth seed, has put himself on the verge of achieving the two ultimate achievements in the sport at once. Despite the pressure of being the favourite in a grand slam semi-final Ruud remained steady through his early nerves and gradually ground down Karen Khachanov, the 27th seed, as he became the first Norwegian man to reach a US Open final, winning 7-6(5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2. He had heard all of the criticisms of his abilities on the surface loud and clear, the way that people questioned and underestimated him, but he took them with a smile.

“I think what's most fair is if we both reach the final and whoever wins the final reaches the World No. Although Khachanov battled hard, the lengthy rally put him in too deep of a hole. The next-longest rally of the event came between Could stretch my arms in the air and win the first set. That would be I think the ideal situation,” Ruud said. “I missed a serve by small margins the first serve. “That's fun with tennis because some of the best rallies of all time, longer rallies of all times, often come in important points because we both realise how important it is. I knew this [was] a chance to win the first set. The 55-shot rally not only earned Ruud the set, but gave him a heavy dose of momentum leading into the set set, which he claimed 6-2. “It was a very important point in the match. Neither man took control of the point until Ruud unleashed a backhand up the line that Khachanov missed into the net. One point might have made all the difference.

Internationaux des États-Unis: Carlos Alcaraz rejoint Casper Ruud ... (Le Soleil)

L'Espagnol Carlos Alcaraz, 4e mondial, s'est qualifié vendredi à l'US Open pour sa première finale de Grand Chelem en écartant l'Américain Frances Tiafoe ...

Et à 5-3 sur le service de Tiafoe, Alcaraz s’est procuré trois nouvelles balles de match à 0/40: il a conclu sur la troisième, la quatrième au total. Il lui a ravi le service deux fois d’affilée pour s’échapper 4-1, puis a conservé son avantage sans trembler bouclant l’affaire en un peu plus de trois heures sur le Arthur Ashe. Pas tout à fait, car Ruud n’a pas laissé à son adversaire le loisir de croire en une remontée fantastique. Il n’a pas eu à autant s’employer dans la manche suivante, car il n’y avait qu’un homme sur le court, Ruud remportant 30 des 41 points disputés et tous ses jeux de services blancs. Puis l’Américain a sauvé une balle de match à 5-4 sur son service, d’une remarquable contre-amortie rétro au terme d’un échange spectaculaire où il a été malmené. Alcaraz a sauvé les trois balles de set, mais a offert ensuite la manche sur une nouvelle double faute.
