Carlos Alcaraz continued his dominant run at the French Open, dismantling Tommy Paul in a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 masterclass to reach the semi-finals at Roland Garros for the third consecutive year. The defending champion showcased exceptional form, overcoming earlier struggles in the tournament.
Alcaraz’s performance was a significant step up from his previous matches, where he had dropped sets and occasionally shown frustration. Against Paul, he appeared utterly in control, describing his feeling as “unbelievable” and hitting every shot “at my 100%,” demonstrating a renewed confidence.
Paul, despite his athletic prowess and history of challenging Alcaraz, was visibly fatigued, having battled through two five-set matches and an abdominal issue. His weariness, combined with Alcaraz’s sublime form, meant he had no answer for the defending champion’s relentless attack.
