French Open: Alcaraz Passes Tough De Jong Test To Advance As Rainy Disrupts Schedule

By IANS News May 30, 2024 • 00:28 AM View: 830

Lexus ATP Head2Head: With Wednesday's schedule at the French Open disrupted by incessant rain, Spanish third seed Carlos Alcaraz overcame a stern test from Dutch qualifier Jesper de Jong to reach the third round.

With matches possible only on the two show courts -- Court Philippe Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen that are covered by a roof, Alcaraz won one of the three men's singles matches that could be played on Wednesday.

But it was a difficult outing as the former World No.1 was taken to four sets and eventually prevailed 6-3, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to reach the third round.
