When Carlos Alcaraz plays Carlos Alcaraz with Tommy Paul at Roland Garros: track record
Having reached the quarterfinals in a rather convincing manner, despite dropping a few sets on the way, Carlos Alcaraz (fresh from his success against Ben Shelton) is about to face Tommy Paul, who after two marathon matches with Fucsovics and Khachanov got rid of Alexei Popyrin rather easily in the round of 16 at Roland Garros 2025.
Alcaraz is currently No. 2 in the world rankings, while Paul occupies the No. 12 position. The match will be played in the evening of Tuesday, June 3, with a start time no earlier than 8:15 p.m. The Parisian weather forecast is for a barely cloudy but not too cool evening, with a minimum temperature of 20 degrees.
The two tennis players have faced each other six times previously, with a tally of four wins for the Murcian and two for the New Jersey native: both of Paul’s victories came in Montreal, in the round of 16 of the 2022 edition, with the score of 6-7(4), 7-6(7), 6-3, and in the quarterfinals of the 2023 edition, with the result of 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
Alcaraz, on the other hand, won in the round of 16 of the 2023 Miami tournament with a double 6-4, in the round of 16 of the Cincinnati Masters 1000 in the same year with the score of 7-6(6), 6-7(0), 6-3, in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2024 by 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2, and then again in the quarterfinals, in the Paris Olympic tournament, by 6-3, 7-6(7).
