<p>Team Europe had lost the past two events and needed a come-from-behind victory from local player <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/carlos-alcaraz-outlasts-alexander-zverev-in-five-set-thriller-to-lift-maiden-french-open-title-23353469" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Alexander Zverev</strong></a> against Frances Tiafoe, 6-7(5/7), 7-5, 10-5, to send the tournament to the final match between Alcaraz and Fritz.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After his win, the four-time Grand Slam winner was compared to peak Federer, but Alcaraz said such a comparison was &ldquo;impossible&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m too far away from that level,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I hope I&rsquo;ll reach it one day, but it&rsquo;s really impossible.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alcaraz, who won the French Open and Wimbledon this season, had not played the event before.</p>
