The potential semi-final that was circled on everyone's draw sheet at the start of the tournament is officially happening: Carlos Alcaraz will take on Novak Djokovic in the final four at Roland-Garros.
Alcaraz outclassed Tsitsipas in the quarters tonight, easing past the No.5 seed 6-2, 6-1, 7-6(5) in 2hr 12min.
Tsitsipas rallied from 2-5 down in the third but his Alcaraz extinguished his comeback attempt by securing the tiebreak, and the match.
The win sets the Spaniard up for a highly-anticipated last-four clash with Djokovic, who lost his only previous meeting with Alcaraz, in Madrid 13 months ago.

A double fault from Tsitsipas hands the second set over to Alcaraz, who now leads the Greek 6-2, 6-1 after 65 minutes of play. The top seed is edging closer and closer to a mouthwatering semi-final against Djokovic.

World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz enters his night-session quarter-final with a 4-0 head-to-head mark against his opponent world No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas has NEVER lost a Grand Slam quarter-final, tallying up a 6-0 record at this stage at the majors.
The 20-year-old Alcaraz, who beat Tsitsipas in their two previous meetings on clay (Barcelona QF 2022, Barcelona final 2023), is the youngest player to reach the men's Roland-Garros quarter-finals in back-to-back years since Djokovic in 2006-07.
The Spaniard is appearing in his fourth career Grand Slam quarter-final in his ninth tournament. He is 34-3 win-loss this season (24-2 on clay).

After dropping the opening set, Djokovic now leads Khachanov 4-6, 7-6(0) 6-2 and appears to have taken control of the contest. The third set lasted 41 minutes and saw Djokovic drop ONE point on his first serve and ZERO points on his second serve.
Diede's century

4:10pm Khachanov takes opening set
Khachanov has grabbed set one 6-4 over Djokovic with a service winner to take the lead in 56 minutes. The No.11 seed has dropped just two points on his first serve and four on his second - pretty remarkable against the best returner in the game.
3:59pm Karen up a break

3:05pm Djokovic-Khachanov up next

World No.2 Aryna Sabalenka has punched her ticket to the semi-finals at Roland-Garros for the first time (completing her Grand Slam box-set of last-four appearances) with a composed 6-4, 6-4 win against former world No.3 Elina Svitolina.
Sabalenka now owns a tour-leading 34 match-wins in 2023 and will take on Karolina Muchova in the final four.
To replace Swiatek at the top of the rankings, Sabalenka must out-perform the Pole here in Paris.
1:50pm Aryna takes first set
A sole break of serve late in the set saw Sabalenka take a 6-4 lead over Svitolina in 41 minutes.
1:30pm Sabalenka-Svitolina under way
World No.2 Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina are squaring off on Court Philippe-Chatrier, both bidding for a maiden Roland-Garros semi-final spot.
They're 1-1 head-to-head but haven't played each other since 2020. Svitolina is contesting her first Grand Slam since giving birth to daughter Skai last October, while Sabalenka is the reigning Australian Open champion and is looking to win back-to-back majors and to dethrone Iga Swiatek at the top of the rankings. A title run in Paris would see Sabalenka take over the No.1 spot.
12:48pm Muchova into the semis
Since 1990, seven Czech women had reached the semi-finals in Paris - today, Karolina Muchova has become the eighth, thanks to a 7-5, 6-2 victory over 2021 runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
In a 1hr 38min clash on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Muchova fired 21 winners against 15 unforced errors as she booked herself a maiden spot in the final four on Parisian clay.
