Carlos Alcaraz

The world's best tennis player and winner of a record 23 Grand Slam titles, after the third triumph of his career in Paris, began the 388th week of his reign in world tennis.
Thus, he will have the opportunity to further improve the record that has been in his possession for a long time.

PARIS - Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic is through to the Roland Garros final after defeating Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 following three hours and 13 minutes of play.

Early in the third set, Alcaraz was forced to forfeit a service game due to cramps and his movement remained limited as a result of the injury despite a medical timeout he took after the set.

Stefanos Tsitsipas put his three-set mauling by top seed Carlos Alcaraz in their French Open quarter-final down to sleeping pills, pre-match naps, and late matches rather than the Spaniard's sensational quality.

PARIS - Serbia's top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic is through to the Roland Garros semi-finals after beating Russia's Karen Khachanov 4-6, 7-6 (7-0), 6-4, 6-2 on Tuesday.

Djokovic is now 9-1 head-to-head against Khachanov.

In his 12th career Roland Garros semi-final, Djokovic will face the winner of the tie between Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the French Open third round on Wednesday, but all the focus was on Novak Djokovic as a political row sparked by the two-times Roland Garros champion intensified.

PARIS - Serbia's top-ranked male tennis player Novak Djokovic was on Thursday drawn to play American Aleksandar Kovacevic in the first round of Roland Garros and could face current world number one Carlos Alcaraz as early as in the semi-finals.

He will potentially face Russian Andrey Rublev in the quarter-finals and Daniil Medvedev in the final.

Before the start of the ATP tournament in Rome, where he is defending his title, Djokovic had only five points more than Alcaraz.
It was enough for the Spanish tennis player to appear in Rome and thus overtake Djokovic, and Alcaraz did that with his triumph in the first round.

World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas landed 39 straight first serves en route to claiming a 3-6 6-1 7-6(5) comeback win over Dominic Thiem at the Madrid Open, with the Greek crediting his focus and relaxation for his near-perfect serving performance.

World number two Carlos Alcaraz beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3 6-4 to win the Barcelona Open on Sunday and clinch his third ATP Tour title of the year and the ninth overall for the 19-year-old.

World number one Novak Djokovic pulled out of the Madrid Masters on Saturday, joining Rafael Nadal in missing the tournament with the French Open just five weeks away.

Both men are vying for a record-extending 23rd Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, with the tournament beginning on May 28.
