Roland Garros 2025 continues to see a solid advance from young tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. After unconvincing matches in previous rounds, the No. 2 seed has made a strong impression with an overwhelming victory over American tennis player Tommy Paul (seed No. 12).
In just 94 minutes, Alcaraz ended the match with a score of 6-0, 6-1, 6-4, convincingly qualifying for the semi-finals. This was his fastest win since the beginning of the tournament and helped the Spaniard reach the semi-finals of Roland Garros three times in a row.
"In the quarter-finals, the match will never be easy. I have played against Tommy many times and every match was very difficult. He beat me twice.
That helps me focus on my game when it starts, trying not to get defeated. I tried to concentrate throughout the whole match. I could close my eyes and everything went. I felt great in this match.
I tried to do every hit with 100% strength, not thinking about anything else, just focusing on hitting the ball. Today is one of the matches where everything went like that," Alcaraz shared after the match.
Alcaraz's upcoming opponent is a face appearing for the first time in the semi-finals of Roland Garros - Lorenzo Musetti. The Italian tennis player beat Frances Tiafoe (seed number 15) after 4 sets with the scores of 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.
The opponent has fallen many times against Alcaraz this season. Although not as highly rated as Alcaraz, Musetti is still an interesting unknown with stable performance and a resilient fighting spirit.
The remaining two men's singles quarter-finals, the pair Sinner - Bublik and Djokovic - Zverev, will take place today.
