Carlos Alcaraz delivered a dominating performance at the French Open, cruising past Tommy Paul with a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 victory to set up a blockbuster semi-final clash against Lorenzo Musetti. Alcaraz’s convincing win showcased his return to peak form at the crucial stage of the tournament.
The defending champion’s path to the quarter-finals had been marked by some inconsistencies, but against Paul, he appeared utterly in control. Alcaraz highlighted his “unbelievable” feelings on court, demonstrating exceptional control and varied shotmaking.
Paul, despite his athletic prowess, was visibly fatigued from earlier in the tournament, having battled through consecutive five-set matches and an abdominal issue. His weariness, combined with Alcaraz’s sublime form, meant he had no answer for the Spaniard’s relentless attack.
