- Auger-Aliassime advances after Alcaraz retires trailing 6-3, 3-1
- FAA reaches semi-final after Alcaraz retires – as it happened
What had started as one of the most intriguing US Open quarter-finals in years between a pair of the tour’s most promising young guns ended prematurely Tuesday night as Félix Auger-Aliassime went through to the last four at Flushing Meadows when the Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz retired down a set and a break after only 68 minutes.
The Montreal native was leading 6-3, 3-1 amid a nearly packed house at Arthur Ashe Stadium when Alcaraz called a halt to the proceedings after a visit from the trainer during the previous changeover. It was not immediately clear why Alcaraz retired from the match.
