PARIS: Rafael Nadal set up a blockbuster French Open quarter-final against world number one Novak Djokovic on Sunday when he defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in a five-set fourth round epic. Nadal, the 13-time champion at Roland Garros and holder of a record 21 Grand Slam titles, triumphed over the Canadian 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in a match which lasted four hours and 21 minutes. It was only the third time in his 17-year, 111-match career in Paris that Nadal had been stretched to five sets. Nadal and Djokovic will meet for the 10th time at Roland Garros and 59th overall in a rivalry stretching back to 2006. “We know each other well, we have a lot of history. The only thing I can say is that I will be focussed, try my best and fight until the end,” said Nadal of renewing his rivalry with the defending champion on Tuesday. Nadal hailed Auger-Aliassime who has been working with his uncle and former coach Toni since April last year. “Felix is a great player, one of the best in the world. He’s very young with a lot of power and great mobility,” said the 35-year-old Spaniard. “He was a very tough opponent for me, he is doing a lot of things well and has improved every year.

Olvidado ya el sufrimiento que, cuando tuvo que salvar un punto de partido para superar al catalán en cinco sets, Carlos Alcaraz ha alcanzado la velocidad de crucero en París. El murciano, que se deshizo el viernes del estadounidense Korda en tres sets, superó también del tirón a Karen Khachanov: 6-1, 6-4 y 6-4 en dos horas y 14 minutos. Y el martes se enfrentará en cuartos a Alexander Zverev, el alemán de 25 años y número tres del mundo, que vive un curso complicado en el que reconoce haber sufrido “problemas de salud mental”.
