Alcaraz Books Place in French Open 4th Round With Convincing Win Over Shapovalov! | Eurosport Tennis

It was a consummate night-match performance from Carlos Alcaraz on Philippe-Chatrier on Friday night, seeing off the threat of Denis Shapovalov in straight sets. Alcaraz was troubled on occasions by the Canadian, especially in the second set, but he was able to ride out those moments and move into the fourth round.

Thank you Eurosport, for the extended highlights! Muito obrigado.

[@MrJustforkicks]

So many unfair comparisons to the big 3. Carlos is the defining player of this generation from the way he's going, and he's world #1. There's no point in speculation. I enjoy watching him play, which was something i didn't expect after the big 3 era, and for that, I'm happy, and that's going to keep me interested in the sport, which was my worry as i feel there's a generation of viewers that will stop following the sport after Fedalovic. Just for viewer interest, i feel Alcatraz is spectacular. Likeable, humble, super talented, and a ⭐ at 20!

Moi je pense tout le contraire...déjà il gagnera pas RGaros...psychologiquement trop faible, quand à obtenir toute et dépasser les victoires des trois GOT, plus personne dansla nouvelle génération n'y arrivera...

Terrific exhibition of tennis yet again.....Man in motion

1-4 down to 6-4 set.... What a player Alcaraz truly is. So privileged to see a legend in the making in the beginnings of his career.

[@Jay-to-the-K]

It's unbelieveble, what Carlos Alcaras is doing every time he enters the court 🤩 And even thought he is known for his outragious Forehand, you should also point out his strokes with the backhand 🥎 So powerful and exactly... that's Carlos 🦬

[@yellowait_music]

You have to admit it. This guy is super talented. He's incredible.

[@CarmenRodriguez-ze2xg]

We don't know if Acaraz will win or not Rolland Garros, what we do know is that since he arrived tennis has been put back on.. So with a lot of young people getting excited again and he has made many other young players as Sinner Rune Mussetti.... they will fight more thats for sure I am very happy, the tennis world is on fire again and we should be thankful..

[@alalba2136]

Alcaraz currently represents the best show that can be seen in tennis.

[@milosc__7310]

Alcaraz-Musetti will be an interesting match

[@Andres-qm1xx]

Musetti is the big favourite considering the form

Honestly I think musetti will get killed. Won’t have the rythm that he needs

@@jackloughridge7617 yeah that might happens but its not sure. Look like he play great at RG, he was unlucky the last two years, facing in the first round tsitsipas and djokovic (he also took 2 sets to djokovic in 2021)

​@rvt secure you mean Sinner, Medvedev, Nadal, Djokovic, Zverev, Tsitsipas are't top players?? He's beaten them all.

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Who needs to watch the Big 3 while you can watch it in one person. He's a complete player, he can do what Jokovic, Federer and Nadal combined. What a pleasure watching him specially when he's playing very well that nobody can stop him. Sometimes we support the underdog always but when Alcaraz is on court I'm so biased I'm always with him even he's against my countryman. That's what I like him after Nadal completely retires all of his fans will surely shift to Alcaraz. How can you not like the man, he's very humble and he plays incredibly well.

[@DvdStennis]

@Eurosporttennis, you have great highlight videos, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop spoilering them with the title. I will watch any Alcaraz video, but other I just scroll over as they currently read like a news items “Ah! Musetti beat Norrie.” Etc.

[@gomezaddams4347]

That was a thorough spanking. At no point in these highlights did I feel Shapo had any answers for Carlos’s game. A very impressive display.

[@ddjr6673]

Shapo has a lot of talent I agree with what someone else posted elsewhere - he needs a new coaching team - shot selection intelligent play attitude sports psych etc. he managed to break Alcaraz

Alcaraz number one on the clay now.

[@ehmp-gl7yn]

Shapovalov, Musetti, Tsitsipas, Djokovic, probably Rune in the final. That's some nasty draw! At least nobody would say that he had a cakewalk in case he wins the trophy, unlike so many times with Federer or Nadal..

[@lordwellingtonthethird8486]

No such thing as a cakewalk draw. Given none of us could even win a point off these “weak” players.

[@antonioandrosiglio8570]

On clay he's simply unstoppable

[@raxrax223]

Slow clay is not his best surface, fast clay (Madrid) or slow hard court are.

[@nescobaj18]

Shapo did not play a bad match. Admittedly, he lost, but after a hard fight. He played much better against Alcaraz than Musetti or Tsitsipas.

[@ebateru]

This was like light sparring

a bit better from Alcaraz, he had a poor outing against Daniel, yesterday still some inaccuracies but he's growing, after this performance he's the favourite.

At the beginning when I read "AlcaTraz", like the prison of the same name, I thought it was a joke and a play on words, but now seeing how many write it, I begin to suspect that many simply don't know how to spell it.

[@alfonso87ful]

This so called alcatraz guy from San Fransico might be the surprize of the tornoment

[@JustinoMartinez-dd6fq]

Los comentaristas españoles. Deberían ir con Alcaraz que parece que le da lástima el contrario

[@louisgianfrancesco]

Suprised Dennis didn't ask for a toilet break in the second set to just leave the stadium to go for a long walk. Much more methodic and relaxing than it is to get tossed around like a doll in a infants pram by Carlos.

[@Martin-gg4bn]

Top tier comment

[@nescobaj18]

Alcaraz plays very spectacular, aggressive and forceful tennis, but makes too many unforced errors. With better opponents, this may not be enough.

[@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

theres no chance Vamositos beats back to back Musetti , greek god and GOAT and in final whoever , Rune or Zverev if he wins r garros this year I will eat a frog alive and make a video

[@BetterCallSaul603]

I'm watching 30 years. Right now I would bet he will

[@BetterCallSaul603]

@factifical I don't think. Yes I know maybe GOAT, and all that stuff. I know all his records and watched his whole career. But he is 36 and Alcaraz 20. And that's a lot in Tennis. I don't say Alcaraz would beat a 2011 djokovic or 2010 Rafa but I believe he will win the semi final against Nole. But maybe you will be right. Let's see what will happen Carlos is a Freak

[@joshheinink]

​@Columbo lookslike he'll overpower djokovic

[@BetterCallSaul603]

@@joshheinink yes of course nole trys to play short. Because he can't play every match 3 or 4 hours and than Alcaraz is waiting. But on the other Hand the 20.year old can play every match 4 hours and still playing against Nole. Don't get me really wrong, this kid is special but far far away from Roger, Nole and Rafa. But like I said there will be a 2023 Nole and not 2015. Nole or 2011. I love Tennis but that will be a marathon for Nole 1000 percent

[@weeding-hd3ek]

He had an opponent who made 10 double faults in the match. For the parts when Shapovalov was playing good it seemed he was not adjusting well. We can judge about his quality as soon as he really gets challenged.
