World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz extinguished the talented Italian Lorenzo Musetti (ATP 18) 6-3 6-2 6-2 in the round of 16. He will face in the quarterfinals the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 5), who beat the Austrian Sebastian Ofner (ATP 118) 7-5 6-3 6-0 in 1h50.
The duel between two of the faces of the new generation of world tennis has finally come to an end. At the very beginning of the game, Carlos Alcaraz was well shaken and Musetti inspired, but it only lasted a few minutes. Time for the Italian to lead 2-0.
“Carlitos” immediately came back up, then he started to have the answer to almost everything and did not let Musetti breathe, defeated in just over 2 hours. His sparkling record of 42 winners against only 23 unforced errors speaks volumes about his quality of play.
Against Tsitsipas in the next round
Nobody has won more matches on clay than the Spaniard in 2023: now 24 out of 26 played. Which earned him three titles on ocher: Buenos Aires, Barcelona, and especially Madrid, plus a final in Rio. The 20-year-old Spaniard also equals his best result on Parisian clay.
In Paris, Carlos Alcaraz will face Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 5), who easily won against the Austrian Sebastian Ofner (ATP 118) 7-5 6-3 6-0 in 1h50. The 24-year-old Greek, finalist in 2021, will play his 7th Grand Slam quarter-final on this occasion, the 3rd at Roland-Garros. The winner of this explosive match could find a certain Novak Djokovic (ATP 3) in the last four.
