💨 Abstract

Carlos Alcaraz reached his first Australian Open final after a grueling five-set victory over Alexander Zverev in the longest semi-final in the tournament's history. Despite physical struggles, Alcaraz showed mental resilience to win 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-7(4), 7-5. He became the youngest player to reach all four major finals in the Open era.
