Alcaraz dominates Tsitsipas in three sets and joins Djokovic in the Roland-Garros semi-finals

The somewhat feverish end to the match from Carlos Alcaraz will not make us forget the previous hour and a half during which he had left nothing to Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tuesday evening, the Spaniard, world number 1, made short work of the Greek, 5th in the world, in three sets (6-2, 6-1, 7-6 [5]) and 2:12 a.m. The dream Alcaraz-Djokovic semi-final will therefore take place, after the Serb dismissed Karen Khachanov earlier in the day in four sets (4-6, 7-6 [0]6-2, 6-4) and 3 h 40.

Long out of the game, trailing 5-2 in the third set, Tsitsipas rebelled, taking advantage of a ” lack of concentration “ of Alcaraz, to pick up at 5-5 after saving three match points. Although the Greek saved two more, the level difference between the two players was too great. And the world number 1 concluded the meeting with a winning backhand volley to reach his first semi-final at Roland-Garros.
