U.S. Open live updates: Frances Tiafoe vs. Carlos Alcaraz

The winner of Friday’s semifinal between Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe will face Casper Ruud, the Norwegian No. 5 seed who defeated Karen Khachanov, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, earlier Friday.

Ruud will play in his second Grand Slam final of 2022 after falling to Rafael Nadal at the French Open. If Tiafoe defeats Alcaraz, Ruud will leave New York as the world No. 1 regardless who wins the final. If Alcaraz wins, he will vie for the top spot against Ruud.
