Thanks to a tweener of anthology, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz seized the seventh game of the third set against the Russian Karen Khachanov (25th) and got closer to the quarters. The Spanish phenom kept pace to advance to his first quarter-final at Roland Garros 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday night.
After saving a match point in the second round, getting away with it after a marathon match lasting more than four and a half hours, the young Spaniard wasted no more time at Porte d’Auteuil: barely more than two hours at the third round against the American talent Sebastian Korda (30th), dominated 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, and, in the round of 16, 2h14 min against Khachanov.
