The Spaniard saw off Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets on Tuesday night.

CARLOS ALCARAZ SAW off Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets on Tuesday to set up a mouthwatering French Open semi-final clash with incoming world number one Jannik Sinner.

Alcaraz will be desperate to right the wrongs of last year — when he suffered cramps in a defeat by Novak Djokovic — in his second successive French Open semi-final. Advertisement He will face Sinner Friday for the ninth time, with the pair’s head-to-head record level at 4-4. There will be a new name on the men’s trophy this year after Djokovic pulled out ahead of his quarter-final with a knee injury, while it will also be the first final without one of the ‘big three’ since 2004.

“It’s going to be a really good challenge, I’m ready for that challenge. It’s the match that everybody wants to watch.Alcaraz started quickly in front of an expectant crowd on Tuesday, racing through the first set in just half an hour as Tsitsipas struggled to contain his opponent.
