Carlos Alcaraz is on fire at the 2024 Paris Olympics, securing his spot in the final by defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime and guaranteeing himself a medal.
The 21-year-old Spaniard will play for gold, but even if he loses, he’ll still take home silver. Given his current form, many believe he has a great shot at winning it all.
After an amazing few weeks where he won his first Roland Garros and second Wimbledon titles , Alcaraz now looks to cap off the summer with another big win.
Felix Auger-Aliassime made an impressive run to reach the medal rounds. He beat top players like Daniil Medvedev and Casper Ruud. But when facing Alcaraz, the Canadian couldn’t keep up. Fans might think it’s no surprise given how dominant Alcaraz has been lately.

Match Highlights:
Alcaraz was simply too strong. He’s been playing at an unmatched level recently, and this match was no different. Auger-Aliassime struggled from the start; despite barely winning his first game after a tough deuce battle, he got broken in his next service game as Alcaraz kept up relentless pressure.
The Canadian tried to be aggressive to counteract Alcaraz’s power but lacked consistency. He couldn’t hit enough winners and made too many mistakes, falling behind 1-4 early in the first set.
Alcaraz won the opening set 6-1 without much trouble as Auger-Aliassime had no answers for him. The second set started better for Felix; he led 40-15 in his second service game but soon found himself down 1-4 again due to Alcaraz’s dominance.
In just ten minutes from that point, it was clear who would win. Felix never looked close to turning things around as Alcaraz cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 victory, ensuring at least a silver medal and keeping his eyes firmly on gold.
What do you think? Can anyone stop Carlos?
