Stefanos Tsitsipas said the key to his impressive comeback victory over Lorenzo Musetti at the French Open was a switch of “attitude”. The world No. 4 looked to be heading for a shock exit as he lost the first two sets against Musetti, who pushed Novak Djokovic to five sets last year in Paris.
Praise has kept pouring in for the new hot prospect on the block, as Carlos Alcaraz has yet again found himself lauded by those in high places. Mats Wilander, Tim Henman and Alex Corretja were all quick to applaud the young Spaniard's meteoric rise, culminating in an «incredible» victory in Madrid according to Wilander, and a sixth seeding at Roland-Garros with Henman noting that the 19-year old could well be «one of the favourites». Ad/> Corretja was in buoyant mood in the Eurosport commentary box, joking: «I’m so pleased we’re bringing another Spanish guy through so I can keep on commentating! /> Roland-Garros'Sheer brutality' — Alcaraz dominates incredible point at French OpenAN HOUR AGO »It’s exciting, not just because he’s Spanish, but because of the way he is playing, the way he is behaving on the court; the way he is hitting the ball, the variation he’s got.
Alex Corretja praised Magda Linette as the unseeded Pole came from behind to shock Ons Jabeur 3-6 7-6 7-5 in the first round of the French Open. Speaking to Alize Lim, Corretja said: "[It was] an amazing win! Of course, [Linette was] very aggressive, [especially] in the beginning as the court was a little bit heavier and the clay was humid, so she could hit the ball as hard as she could, not making too many mistakes, and of course, even if Jabeur was leading, you could see that she was struggling, trying to move well, but it wasn’t easy for her and it’s a surprise.

Two-time French Open runner-up Alex Corretja says night matches at the French Open will throw up a level of unpredictability as they return for 2022 — but in front of crowds for the first time. The scheduling change was introduced for the first time last year but the matches were played behind closed doors due to Covid curfews, meaning some of the best encounters were missed by paying spectators.
Novak Djokovic will be aiming for a record-equalling 21st Grand Slam title when the French Open starts on May 22. Djokovic is defending men’s champion and will be hoping to overcome the challenges from Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas to win in Paris. Ad/> Iga Swiatek is the strong favourite for the women’s title after her stunning form over the last few months.
Alex Corretja says Carlos Alcaraz is doing everything “perfectly” right now as he continued his rapid rise through the game with victory at the Madrid Open. The 19-year-old thrashed defending champion Alexander Zverev in the final to win his second Masters title of the season. Ad/> Alcaraz also beat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the tournament and has won more matches this season (28) than any other player.
Carlos Alcaraz says he learnt about «fighting spirit» from Rafael Nadal after playing his childhood idol at Indian Wells last month. The 18-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable two seasons on the ATP tour and has already won four tournaments, including his maiden Masters title in Miami on April 3 and the Barcelona Open last week. Ad/> Alcaraz has a 23-3 record in 2022 and one of those losses was a three-sets defeat to compatriot Nadal in the semi-finals of Indian Wells in March which lasted three hours and 12 minutes.
