Carlos Alcaraz continues his French Open title defence when he faces American star Tommy Paul in the quarterfinal on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old scored a hard-fought 7-6 (8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over Ben Shelton in the previous round. He is attempting to become the first man since Rafael Nadal in 2019-20 to defend his French Open title.
Meanwhile, Paul made his first quarterfinal at the clay-court major with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win over Australia’s Alexei Popyrin. Despite the easier ride against Popyrin, Paul has earned his stripes at the French Open, as he defeated Marton Fucsovics and Karen Khachanov in back-to-back five setters.
The Spaniard leads their head-to-head series 4-2. Alcaraz defeated Paul in their only clash on clay before this — a 6-3, 7-6 win in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
