World No. 1’s insane 40-min demolition as Alcaraz sends scary French Open warning: Wrap

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.

The Spaniard pumped 34 winners past Auger-Aliassime as the persistent rain which heavily disrupted the first week of the tournament finally relented, allowing matches on the two main courts to go ahead without the need for their retractable roofs. Alcaraz moves on to play Tsitsipas after the 2021 Roland Garros runner-up fended off Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi 3-6, 7-6 , 6-2, 6-2, the turning point coming in the second set when he saved four set points.Bravehearted Kokkinakis falls just shy of pulling off another mega comeback in French Open thriller“That game when I broke was the biggest pleasure I’ve experienced in tennis for a long time.”

Second seed Jannik Sinner has yet to drop a set through three rounds and takes on the last remaining Frenchman in the draw, Corentin Moutet, in the night session. Earlier in the day, women’s world number one Swiatek demolished Russia’s Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0, dropping only 10 points in the shortest completed match of her career.“I was really focused and in the zone. I wasn’t looking at the score so I continued working on my game,” said Swiatek.The Pole’s brisk victory came on the same Court Philippe Chatrier where Djokovic had completed his third round win at 3:07am, the latest finish to a French Open match after more than four hours and five sets.
