Quarterfinal Blitz: Carlos Alcaraz Sails into the Semis at French Open
Rapidly advancing tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz charging towards the semi-finals.
Hop on the tennis bandwagon as Spain's Carlos Alcaraz tops the Parisian charts at the French Open! American Tommy Paul is left sizzling in the quarterfinals, with Italian Lorenzo Musetti brewing a storm in his quarterfinal match.
Defending champ Carlos Alcaraz reigns supreme at Roland Garros! The 22-year-old show stopper took down world number 12, Tommy Paul, 6:0, 6:1, 6:4. He left the American breathless, not giving him a shred of a chance!
Next up for Alcaraz? Italian phenom Lorenzo Musetti, set to clash in the semis this Friday. At just 23, Musetti's making his Stade Roland Garros debut in the semifinals! Musetti outplayed fellow American Frances Tiafoe 6:2, 4:6, 7:5, 6:2. Alexander Zverev knocks elbows for a place in the semis later today (20:15 CET/Eurosport and live on ntv.de).
Alcaraz stormed Court Philippe-Chatrier with an explosive start, winning the first seven games. The world number two dominated the match, giving a masterclass display of tennis. Unlike previous rounds, which saw minor slip-ups and dropped sets, Alcaraz stayed focused, securing his spot in the next round in just 1 hour and 34 minutes. "I felt unstoppable on the court today," said the awe-inspiring Spaniard.
The Musetti vs. Tiafoe match had fans on the edge of their seats. Musetti, who reached final in Monte-Carlo and semis in Madrid and Rome this year, continued his impressive clay season against Tiafoe. The turning point arrived late in the third and early in the fourth set, when Tiafoe seemed a tad distracted. "The third set was everything. Staying focused was a challenge, but I found that extra adrenaline," said Musetti. A tense moment arose when Musetti nearly hit a lineswoman with a flying ball. He was given a warning and later apologized for the incident. "I think the ref saw there was no malice behind it, so he let me continue," said the Italian.
