Victory in three sets
Alcaraz against Tsitsipas from 8.15 pm LIVE
Short working day for Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the French Open. The Spaniard defeated the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets 6:3, 7:6(3) and 6:4 on Tuesday evening.
Alcaraz controlled the match right from the start and hardly gave his opponent a chance. Tsitsipas managed just one break against the 21-year-old, but lost the set in a tie-break.
In the semi-finals, Alcaraz will now face South Tyrolean Jannik Sinner, who also beat Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in three sets.
Djokovic leaves Paris
Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, caused a sensation. The 37-year-old Serb had to announce his withdrawal from the tournament a day later after his painful five-set victory in the round of 16 against Francisco Cerundolo (ARG). The Norwegian Casper Ruud also benefited from Djokovic's withdrawal. Last year's finalist spares himself the quarter-finals on Wednesday and awaits the winner of the duel between Olympic champion Alexander Zverev (GER-4) and Alex de Minaur (AUS-11) in the semi-finals.
