PARIS—Carlos Alcaraz moved one win away from becoming the youngest man to win an Olympics tennis singles gold medal, beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6–1, 6–1 in the Paris Games semifinals on Friday.

Alcaraz is a 21-year-old from Spain who already owns four Grand Slam titles—including in June at Roland Garros, the clay-court facility being used for tennis at the 2024 Games—and is about a month younger than Vincent Richards of the U.S. was when he claimed the gold in Paris in 1924.
