Carlos Alcaraz put in one of the best performances of the year with an astonishing straight-sets 6-2 6-1 7-6(5) victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas to set up a mouthwatering clash with Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-finals. The match between Alcaraz and Tsitsipas — pitting the first and fifth seeds together — was expected to be tight, but in truth that was rarely the case, with Alcaraz putting in a highlight reel of a display that felt like it was taking the game to a new level thanks to his hybrid game style that at once is comparable to all of the greats that have come before him — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic.
