Spaniard Carlos Alacarat won the “derby” stage “8” at Roland Garros Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-0 (6-2, 6-1, 7-6), with the 20-year-old moving in the most decisive way to the semi-finals, where he will meet Novak Djokovic.
From the very start, the World No. 1 imposed his pace completely on the game, avoiding unforced errors, scoring from all over the court and never being threatened on his serve.

On the other hand, Stefanos Tsitsipas seemed unable to respond to the opponent’s blows, which he himself admitted to his father and coach at the beginning of the third set.
Alkarat led 4-1 and 5-2, while the Greek tennis player reduced the score to 5-3. Then Tsitsipas made his first break-stop (5-4). He held his serve and leveled the score at 5-5 and the set was decided in a tie-break.
