French Open: Carlos Alcaraz downs Stefanos Tsitsipas to set up semi-final showdown with Jannik Sinner
Carlos Alcaraz blazed into the semi-finals of the French Open on Tuesday (June 4) when he put on a clinical performance to beat former Roland Garros runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3 7-6(3) 6-4.
Alcaraz dropped only three of his first-serve points in the first set and held his nerve through the tiebreak to halt the Greek's mid-match comeback, before delivering one of his superb dropshots on match point.
The Spaniard assured the crowd at Roland Garros that his meeting with number two seed Jannik Sinner would not disappoint, with the Italian playing at the top of his game.

The pair are evenly split with their career head-to-head record at 4-4. Alcaraz won their most recent meeting, a semi-final match at Indian Wells this year.
"You have to run like it is a marathon, you know, side-to-side... Everything he does, he does it perfectly," Alcaraz told reporters of playing Sinner.
