French Open: Carlos Alcaraz Beats Stefanos Tsitsipas, To Face Novak Djokovic In Semi-final

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will square off in a blockbuster French Open semi-final, while Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka condemned outright her country's role in the Ukraine war on Tuesday after reaching the last four at Roland Garros. Djokovic, chasing a third French Open crown and record 23rd men's Grand Slam singles title, recovered from dropping his first set of the tournament to defeat 11th seed Karen Khachanov 4-6, 7-6 (7/0), 6-2, 6-4. The 36-year-old Serb is in his 12th Roland Garros semi-final -- his 45th at the majors -- and faces Alcaraz for a place in the final after the world number one thrashed 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets.

Tsitsipas blames nap, sleeping pills, 'late' matches for Alcaraz mauling

PARIS : Stefanos Tsitsipas put his three-set mauling by top seed Carlos Alcaraz in their French Open quarter-final down to sleeping pills, pre-match naps, and late matches rather than the Spaniard's sensational quality.

French Open: Carlos Alcaraz demolition was 'borderline embarrassing' for Stefanos Tsitsipas, says Tim Henman

Carlos Alcaraz shone under the lights against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the French Open on Tuesday night, and Tim Henman felt it was «borderline embarrassing» how average Alcaraz made the Greek look during the pair's one-sided quarter-final. Thanks to his comprehensive straight-sets victory over the Greek — that was laced with too many shots for a regular highlight reel — Alcaraz stormed into a now hugely anticipated semi-final with Novak Djokovic. Ad Reacting to Alcaraz's performance afterwards in The Cube for Eurosport, Barbara Schett, Tim Henman and Mats Wilander were all somewhat lost for words at what they had just seen.
