Carlos Alcaraz flew past the challenge of Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach the Olympic tennis final.
The four-time Grand Slam winner won 6-1 6-1 against the 13th seed at Roland Garros and now will have the chance to win gold against either Novak Djokovic or Lorenzo Musetti.
Spain’s 21-year-old phenomenon made things look easy on the clay courts and will contest his third major final in two months.
Djokovic, Alcaraz’s potential opponent, is seeing a first Olympic gold medal, the one major title missing from his collection.
The pair met at the Wimbledon final last month, where the Spaniard won out in straight sets.
And Alcaraz is full of confidence and delivered a message after his semi-final to the Spanish fans at home.
MEDALLA! ❤️🇪🇸 Esto lo significa todo para mí, pero todavía queda el domingo! 🙏🏻 PIC.TWITTER.COM/0JG9WWIYO2

He said: “Get ready… for the show that I am going to give you (laughs).
“I don’t know, just that I expect you to cheer, I truly appreciate the people in the stadium and those who have come here to Paris to support, they are very important backing for me in this tournament.
“To those at home, who are many Spaniards, I thank you for the support. Be watching on TV, cheering on every point with me: I am going to give you what you want, which is the gold.”
