Carlos Alcaraz said his ruthless quarter-final performance at Roland Garros on Tuesday was partly “inspired” by rival Jannik Sinner as the Spaniard blew away Tommy Paul for the loss of just five games.
The reigning champion needed just one hour 34 minutes to dismantle former world number nine Paul 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 in the night session on Court Philippe Chatrier and set up a last-four meeting with Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti. It will be the third time Alcaraz and Musetti meet this clay-court season.
But the 22-year-old’s blistering performance under the lights on centre court in Paris will have many backing him to make it three from three against Musetti. “It was, I could close my eyes and everything went in, my feeling today was amazing. Today was one of those matches where everything went in, I’m just pleased with everything,” said Alcaraz of his performance Tuesday.
