PARIS : German third seed Alexander Zverev capitalised on an error-filled performance from Carlos Alcaraz to tame the high-flying teenaged Spaniard 6-4 6-4 4-6 7-6(7) on Tuesday and reach a second straight semi-final at the French Open.
Aunque apenas lleva dos años de carrera profesional, Carlos Alcaraz ha encontrado ya a su némesis, al oponente que mejor sabe cómo hacerle daño: Alexander Zverev. El alemán, de 25 años y número tres del mundo, le pasó por encima en sus dos primeros enfrentamientos, el año pasado en Acapulco y en Viena. Hace unas semanas se invirtió la tendencia, con una victoria aplastante del murciano en la final de Mutua Madrid Open, y este martes en Roland Garros, con el público de la Chatrier en su contra, el alemán recuperó el dominio con un triunfo incontestable por 6-4, 6-4, 4-6 y 7-6 (7) en 3h18 que aparta al prodigio de 19 años de su primera semifinal de Grand Slam y le mete a él en la quinta de su carrera, segunda consecutiva en París. Se enfrentará el viernes a Novak Djokovic o a Rafa Nadal. «Me he cagado en los pantalones», le dijo Zverev con humor, pero con cierta angustia aún en el cuerpo, a Corretja cuando le preguntó como fue capaz de cerrar el partido.
Alexander Zverev may have got the better of Carlos Alcaraz over the course of the first two sets in their French Open quarter-final but the Spaniard still wowed the fans. Zverev, the third seed, played near-faultless tennis to take control of the match early on as the rising star from Spain struggled to get any kind of a foothold.
Alexander Zverev ended Carlos Alcaraz’s run at the French Open as the No. 3 seed reached the semi-finals for the second successive year with a hard-fought 6-4 6-4 4-6 7-6(7) victory.

Alexander Zverev has said that quarter-final opponent Carlos Alcaraz 'gets what he wants' and is favoured by the scheduling at Roland Garros. World number six Alcaraz has played three out of his four matches on Court Phillipe Chatrier at this year's Roland Garros, with world number three Zverev playing just one of his four matches on the main stage. Ad/> 13-time champion Rafael Nadal has also played on Phillipe Chatrier three times, with Novak Djokovic on twice.
Mischa Zverev says his brother Alexander wants to put a stop to Carlos Alcaraz's momentum in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. World number three Alexander Zverev, also known as Sascha, is a US Open finalist and reached the last four in Paris 12 months ago. Ad/> But the German finds himself the underdog for his quarter-final clash against Alcaraz on Tuesday following the Spaniard's meteoric and rapid rise to tennis' elite.
