Stakes will be high when Spanish Carlos Alcaraz will meet Norwegian Casper Rudd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the US Open 2022 final on Monday. Both the tennis stars who have been in excellent form of late will have the chance to topple Daniil Medvedev and grab the top spot to become world number one. Both ace athletes have Spanish connections, with Alcaraz belonging to Spain and the Norwegian training at the Rafael Nadal Academy situated in Spain. It will not be unfair to call this affair a Spanish extravaganza.
Rafael Nadal and current world number one Daniil Medvedev both exited in the fourth round of the US Open 2022, paving the way for Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud to play for the ATP Tour`s top ranking. Alcaraz and Ruud are each one win away from making a dramatic and historic debut at the top of the ATP rankings. Alcaraz, 19, would be the first teenager to hold the top spot in the rankings` history. Ruud, 23, would become the first Norwegian man to reach the top of the men`s tennis world. While Alcaraz is better seeded and ranked favourite to win the title, Ruud, the current world number seven, can draw on his experience playing in the Paris final in June. He faced another Spaniard Rafael Nadal in the final but failed to win a set in his maiden major final. He will look to put that in the past and just count on his experience from the match.
