Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz defeated Tommy Paul in straight sets in just over 90 minutes to return to the Roland-Garros semifinals for the third year in a row.
• Tommy Paul’s lower abdominal injury and heavily taped right thigh severely limited his movement and his ability to serve and hit groundstrokes.
• Alcaraz amassed a 40-13 edge in winners and improved his 2025 red clay record to 20-1 while leading the ATP Tour with 35 match wins.
• The quarterfinal took place under the lights at the iconic Court Philippe Chatrier, where the Spaniard combined power and precision throughout the match.
• In the semifinals, Alcaraz will face Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti, who earlier defeated Frances Tiafoe in four sets.
