The throne of Roland Garros was left with the departure of Novak Djokovic due to a knee injury. With or without the Serbian Carlos Alcaraz between his eyebrows picking up the Musketeers’ Cup, which he has seen lifted eleven times. Rafael Nadalanother champion who left the tournament early, like the Swiss Stan Wawrinka the other active player on the Parisian Grand Slam record.
The Murcian, 21 years old and world No. 2, made it to the quarterfinals in 2022 (Alexander Zverev) and semifinals in 2023 (Novak Djokovic). Cadence invites them to the final, but is not satisfied with the improvement of their result in the French capital. “We seek to win the tournament. If we don’t it is a bittersweet taste,” he said once he confirmed that the recent muscle injury to his right forearm would not be an impediment to performing at his best level.
Every day an Alcaraz gets better known. A force of nature with unlimited tennis resources and the inventiveness and courage to develop them. Where he added discipline to tactics, with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero very attentive to it. They know how to hurt the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, whose one-handed backhand opens up the range of attack. And Alcaraz’s sixth victory over the Greek, 25 years old and No. 9, came to Forceful, in three sets like twelve months ago in the same situation: 6-3, 7-6 (3) and 6-4 in 2h.15′. Close with a velvet volley.
Alcaraz destroyed Tsitsipas. He went to her because he wanted to get to the next promise. He has already challenged who will be the new world number one on Monday after the tournament, the Italian Jannik Sinner, 22 years old, who will join him this Friday in the long-awaited and desired semifinal at Roland Garros. The new world tennis classic will have its ninth episode, breaking the 4-4 tie since the Spaniard won a few months ago in the Indian Wells semi-finals by 1-6, 6-3 and 6 -2.
The current champion of Wimbledon against the king of Australian Open and by far the best tennis player of the season, who stopped suffering on clay because his physical condition improved. Even the precedent on this surface is anecdotally favorable to him thanks to a 6-7, 6-1 and 6-1 in the Umag final.
This will be the fifth Grand Slam semi-final for Alcaraz and the third for Sinner, who made it past the quarterfinals of his debut in Paris, in 2020. And whoever survives will start as the favorite in the final, even in Norway. Casper Ruudthe German Alexander Zverev or the Australian Alex de Minaur.
Knee injury Novak Djokovic This means a direct promotion of Jannik Sinner to No. 1, but both Carlos Alcaraz normalized their day. If the Italian agrees Grigor Dimitrov With enough, 6-2, 6-4 and 7-6 (3), the Murcian sent the night session with authority. There is no flirting in going in at dawn and adding rocks to your path. Straight to Tsitsipas.
“Stephanos, Stefanos,” The center rumbled, taking pity on the Greek, who had been crushed since the break of the first game. A 5-0 partial meant putting the scoreboard at 6-3, 3-0. The spirit of affirmations, the pride of a champion in Monte Carlo, top-10, finalist at Roland Garros 2021, allowed the Greek to recover from the situation with a short recovery that Alcaraz buried in the tiebreak.
Tsitsipas, outmatched, began his complaints to the chair umpire, the French Aurelie Tourte. “I never complain about this, but it’s frustrating. When I’m about to hit, just moments before hit, I still hear the growling,” the Greek pointed out to a referee who ignored the issue.
“Body language for him,” Ferrero invited Alcaraz. Nothing more said and done. He solved it in the third set by silencing the hotter Tsitsipas. He almost hit Charly with his will that looked like a challenge so the Greek tried to apologize.
Alcaraz He is respected in every way, because he is better without discussion. He has the size of Tsitsipas well taken. The public wanted more tennis, they did the wave for two minutes before the Spanish player took out the match. Again they shouted ‘Stefanos, Stefanos’. But Carlitos is alone. Finish on time.
