Poland's Hubert Hurkacz made an unusual request to his opponent Grigor Dimitrov to change the chair umpire during a straight-sets loss in the last 16 of the French Open on Sunday.
Tunisia's Ons Jabeur slid into the French Open quarter-finals for the second time as she earned a hard-fought 6-4, 6-4 victory over Denmark's Clara Tauson on Sunday.
Carlos Alcaraz strolled past 21st seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 on Sunday to make the quarter-finals of the French Open for the third year in succession, while Stefanos Tsitsipas came back from a set down to defeat Matteo Arnaldi. The 21-year-old Spaniard, who made the semi-finals in Paris 12 months ago before losing to eventual champion Novak Djokovic, pumped 34 winners past an ailing Auger-Aliassime. The Canadian took a medical timeout while 3-2 behind in the second set for an apparent leg injury and won just two more games as Alcaraz delivered his best performance of the tournament.
Carlos Alcaraz produced his best display of the tournament to line up a quarter-final rematch with Stefanos Tsitsipas at the French Open, while Iga Swiatek ramped up her bid for a third successive Roland Garros title with a 40-minute blitz on Sunday. Alcaraz says he feels much more like himself in Paris after an injury-hit build-up saw him sidelined by a sore forearm for almost a month. His 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 win over Canadian 21st seed Felix Auger-Aliassime suggested he is rounding into top form, sending an ominous signal to his rivals as he made the last eight for the third year in succession.
Novak Djokovic will aim to reach his 15th successive French Open quarter-final on Monday after setting an unwanted Roland Garros record. The defending champion and 24-time Grand Slam title winner made the last 16 by defeating Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in a bruising five-set epic which concluded at 3:07 a.m. Sunday. It was the latest ever finish at Roland Garros. "I think certain things could have been handled differently," said the 37-year-old Djokovic. "There is a certain beauty in winning the match at three in the morning if it is the last of the tournament, but this wasn't the case."
Novak Djokovic can equal Roger Federer’s record for Grand Slam match wins by beating Lorenzo Musetti at the French Open on Saturday.
I have been in hibernation for two weeks, high up in the hills of Wasimi in Ogun State buried in work. As a result, I failed to catch up with some major sports news. I missed Raphael Nadal’s loss in the first round at Roland Garros. I missed Manchester United’s surprise defeat of my favourite team in the English Premier League, Manchester City FC in the FA Cup final.
PARIS :Second seed Jannik Sinner shook off a sluggish start and blazed into the French Open quarter-finals on Sunday with a 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-1 victory over local hope Corentin Moutet that kept his world number one dreams alive.
