PARIS : World number one Carlos Alcaraz faces a tough path to a maiden French Open title after being placed in the same half of the draw as 22-times Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic on Thursday.
‘Il cielo è sereno,’ is not a phrase you will have heard frequently in Rome over the past fortnight. The sky has certainly not been clear, and the daily assault of grey cloud and sporadic onslaught of rain has caused many a stop-start match to hamper the schedule for players and spectators alike.
Frances Tiafoe was unhappy during his third round match against Italy's Lorenzo Musetti as rain came onto the court, but the match continued. Rain began to descend on Grandstand in their round of 32 match late on in the second set. Ad Alexander Zverev's match against J.J Wolf on Pietrangeli was suspended for several minutes before the decision was eventually made to do the same in Tiafoe's match with Musetti leading 5-7 6-4 2-1.
ROME: Novak Djokovic was tested by 61st-ranked Tomas Martin Etcheverry in a 7-6 (5), 6-2 opening win at the Italian Open on Friday. Aiming for a seventh title on the red clay of the Foro Italico as he prepares for the French Open, Djokovic twice had to recover from deficits during a tight first set. Djokovic was returning after three weeks off due to a lingering issue with his surgically repaired right elbow.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz swept past Dan Evans 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday to set up a Barcelona Open final clash with Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Top-ranked Novak Djokovic will miss the Madrid Open, apparently due to a fitness issue, the Spanish event said Saturday.
