PARIS, June 3 — Carlos Alcaraz produced his best display of the tournament to line up a quarter-final rematch with Stefanos Tsitsipas at the French Open, while Iga Swiatek ramped...
Spain's Carlos Alcaraz Garfia eyes the ball during his men's singles round of sixteen match against Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime on Court Philippe-Chatrier on day eight of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros Complex in Paris June 2, 2024.
The Spaniard pumped 34 winners past Auger-Aliassime as the persistent rain which heavily disrupted the first week of the tournament finally relented, allowing matches on the two main courts to go ahead without the need for their retractable roofs.“I’m really happy with my performance. I think I played a really high level of tennis,” said Alcaraz, beaten by eventual champion Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals last year.
“It was one of the craziest comebacks I’ve had,” said ninth seed Tsitsipas. “That game when I broke was the biggest pleasure I’ve experienced in tennis for a long time.” Second seed Jannik Sinner dropped his first set of the tournament but recovered to end French interest in the men’s draw, putting out Corentin Moutet 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in the night match.
“It was very tough for me. I think he played very, very well in the first set, so I had to adjust a little bit,” said Sinner.Sinner next faces Grigor Dimitrov, who defeated Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets to complete a set of Grand Slam quarter-finals. The Bulgarian has reached the last four of the other three majors but never made it to a final.
She next plays Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, the fifth seed who ended the run of Serbian qualifier Olga Danilovic in straight sets.
