New York [USA], September 6 (ANI): Carlos Alcaraz has become the youngest US Open quarter-finalist in the Open Era after ending the run of qualifier Peter Gojowczyk in five sets at Flushing Meadows on Sunday night.

Alcaraz is now 3-0 lifetime in five-setters; he followed a fifth-set tiebreak win over Stefanos Tsitsipas with fifth-set domination against Peter Gojowczyk, extending his career-best major run with a 5-7, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, 6-0 result.

Alcaraz outlasted the German in the Grandstand, winning the last eight games in a row, with Gojowczyk never getting as close as deuce following a medical timeout for treatment on his upper-leg area.

"I'm super excited to be in my first second week in the Grand Slam, so it's amazing for me. It's a dream come true," Alcaraz said as per atptour.com. "It's really tough to play these kind of matches, to play fifth sets... I hope to play more second weeks, to play more quarter-finals of Grand Slams. I didn't expect to play quarter-finals here. So I think it's a really good performance from me in these matches."
