PARIS — When Roland-Garros organizers added night sessions to the schedule for the first time last year, they had matches such as Tuesday's slate in mind, as Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal go head-to-head for a place in the semifinals.
The German third seed claimed a 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (9/7) victory over Spanish teenage sensation Alcaraz after three hours and 18 minutes.
John McEnroe believes the rise of Carlos Alcaraz was the “best thing” that has happened to Alexander Zverev after he beat the Spaniard to reach the French Open semi-finals. Alcaraz, 19, has seemed to be on a trajectory this year to move ahead of Zverev and become one of the main challengers to Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev at Grand Slams.
German third seed Alexander Zverev capitalised on an error-filled performance from Carlos Alcaraz to tame the high-flying Spanish teenager 6-4 6-4 4-6 7-6(7) and reach a second straight semi-final at the French Open.
Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz’s French Open title bid ended in a four-set defeat by Alexander Zverev.
Alexander Zverev beat Carlos Alcaraz in a dramatic four-set clash on Tuesday to secure a French Open semi-final meeting with either Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal.
PARIS : German third seed Alexander Zverev capitalised on an error-filled performance from Carlos Alcaraz to tame the high-flying teenaged Spaniard 6-4 6-4 4-6 7-6(7) on Tuesday and reach a second straight semi-final at the French Open.
Aunque apenas lleva dos años de carrera profesional, Carlos Alcaraz ha encontrado ya a su némesis, al oponente que mejor sabe cómo hacerle daño: Alexander Zverev. El alemán, de 25 años y número tres del mundo, le pasó por encima en sus dos primeros enfrentamientos, el año pasado en Acapulco y en Viena. Hace unas semanas se invirtió la tendencia, con una victoria aplastante del murciano en la final de Mutua Madrid Open, y este martes en Roland Garros, con el público de la Chatrier en su contra, el alemán recuperó el dominio con un triunfo incontestable por 6-4, 6-4, 4-6 y 7-6 (7) en 3h18 que aparta al prodigio de 19 años de su primera semifinal de Grand Slam y le mete a él en la quinta de su carrera, segunda consecutiva en París. Se enfrentará el viernes a Novak Djokovic o a Rafa Nadal. «Me he cagado en los pantalones», le dijo Zverev con humor, pero con cierta angustia aún en el cuerpo, a Corretja cuando le preguntó como fue capaz de cerrar el partido.
