Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz thrashed Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets to reach the Olympic men’s singles final.<\/b><\/p>\n

Four-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz won 6-1 6-1 against 13th seed Auger-Aliassime at Roland Garros and will now contest his third major final in two months.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old won the French Open<\/a> at the same venue in Paris in June, before triumphing at Wimbledon last month.<\/a><\/p>\n

Alcaraz will face either Serbia’s Novak Djokovic or Italian Lorenzo Musetti in Sunday’s showpiece, with the pair set to play their semi-final at 18:00 BST on Friday.<\/p>\n

Top seed Djokovic – a 24-time Grand Slam winner – is seeking a first Olympic gold medal and the one major title missing from his illustrious collection.<\/p>\n

If the 37-year-old overcomes 11th seed Musetti, he will set up a repeat of last month’s Wimbledon final against Alcaraz, which the Spaniard won in straight sets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
