Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest man to reach the singles semi-finals at the Olympic Games since Novak Djokovic in 2008 by getting past Tommy Paul of the US 6-3, 7-6 (7) in Paris on Thursday.
Spain's Alcaraz, 21, is just a few days older than Djokovic was 16 years ago at the 2008 Games in Beijing.
This is only the latest in a series of 'youngest since' or 'youngest ever' achievements for Alcaraz, who is coming off titles at the French Open -- which is held at Roland Garros, the same facility being used for the 2024 Paris Games -- in June and at Wimbledon in July.
Alcaraz is also the youngest man to win Grand Slams on hard, grass and clay courts.
In 2022, he became the first teenager to reach No. 1 in the ATP rankings, after winning the US Open.
In the semi-finals on Friday, Alcaraz will take on the winner of the quarter-finals between Casper Ruud of Norway or Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada.
