Live Tennis Scores: A Look Back at the Exciting Action at the American Open

The American Open has come to a close, but the excitement of this year's tournament still lingers. From epic five-set matches to historic victories, this year's event had it all.

In the men's singles draw, Carlos Alcaraz made history by becoming the youngest Grand Slam champion since Rafael Nadal won his first major at the 2005 French Open. The 19-year-old Spaniard beat Norwegian Casper Ruud in the final to claim his first major title.

But Alcaraz wasn't the only one making waves in the tournament. Frances Tiafoe, an American born in 1989 or later, became the first American to make it past the round of 16 at the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick in 2006. He defeated Nadal and Djokovic en route to his quarterfinal appearance.

Roger Federer, a 20-time major champion, was unable to participate in the tournament due to his unvaccinated status against COVID-19. This marked the first time he missed out on a Grand Slam event since undergoing a third knee surgery earlier this year.

Other notable matches included Rafael Nadal's quest for his 23rd major title, which ultimately ended at the hands of Tiafoe in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic's bid for a record-breaking 24th major title was foiled by Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.

The American Open may go down in history as the arrival of Carlos Alcaraz, who became the first teenager to ascend to No. 1 in the ATP rankings since John McEnroe in 1980. With his victory, Alcaraz also became the third man in the Open Era to win back-to-back-to-back five-set matches en route to a major title.
