French Open: Alcaraz Triumphs Over Auger-Aliassime To Set Up Tsitsipas Clash In QF
The first set was a display of high-calibre tennis, with both players holding their serves amid spectacular rallies and exchanges. Neither could gain the upper hand until the eighth game, when Alcaraz found his rhythm. A blistering forehand winner at 0-15 signalled his intent, and he followed it up with another unreturnable forehand to seize the advantage. Alcaraz's confidence soared as he unleashed a ripped backhand cross-court and a delicate drop-shot winner, securing a crucial break of serve.
Serving for the set, Alcaraz faced a tenacious Auger-Aliassime, who refused to concede easily. The Spaniard was forced into a remarkable pick-up at his feet just shy of the net, which set up a set point. Auger-Aliassime's long backhand ended the set 6-3 in favour of Alcaraz, capping off an electrifying start to the match.
