Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz put on a rollercoaster show at Roland-Garros! The Spanish ace dominated the first two sets against Bosnia & Herzegovina's Damir Dzumhur before his energy dipped a bit. Though he stumbled in the third set, Alcaraz roared back in the fourth to secure a 6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win and book his spot in the round of 16.
Alcaraz admitted, "Today I didn't enjoy it that much. I suffered quite a lot today, but happy to have played a good match with him." Fans at Court Philippe Chatrier were treated to a match full of energy swings and dramatic twists—a true testament to never giving up when the pressure mounts. 🎾🔥
In another thrilling encounter, Denmark's Holger Rune battled France's Quentin Halys in a five-set marathon. After a grueling contest, Rune managed a well-earned win, setting up his next challenge against Italy's Lorenzo Musetti. Both matches are a reminder that in tennis, persistence and powerful comebacks are everything!
