Tennis fans were left in awe of Carlos Alcaraz after his dominant win over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinals of the 2023 French Open.

Alcaraz extended his flawless record against Tsitsipas to 5-0 with a commanding straight sets victory on Tuesday. The Spaniard triumphed 6-2, 6-1, 7-6(5) in two hours and 12 minutes of play.

Although Tsitsipas managed to force a tiebreak in the third set after being 2-5 down, Alcaraz maintained his composure and sealed the win with a commanding display in the tiebreak. The victory propelled Alcaraz to his first-ever semifinal at the prestigious claycourt Major.

Several fans pointed out the apparent irony in Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was heralded as the "next big thing," being outplayed by the younger Spaniard.

"Imagine being told that you're one of the next big things and then being repeatedly routined by a 20 year old," a fan tweeted.
"Alcaraz is doing this to someone who burst on to the scene impressively beating all the big 3 before he was 21. Now to watch that top 5 player be unable to withstand the force across the other side of the net and find any strategy to express himself at all…I do feel bad for him," another fan chimed in.

One fan claimed that it hurt to watch Alcaraz's continued dominance over the Greek.

"Tsitsipas is such an easy job for Alcaraz that it hurts to watch," the fan commented.
"Calling 911. I want to report a murder in broad daylight," a user posted.

Carlos Alcaraz will take on Novak Djokovic in a highly anticipated clash in the French Open semifinals on Friday, June 9. Alcaraz leads 1-0 in the head-to-head against the Serb, having won their only encounter in the 2022 Madrid Open semifinal 6-7(5), 7-5, 7-6(5).

Following his quarterfinal win on Tuesday, Alcaraz expressed his anticipation for the upcoming clash against Djokovic and emphasized his desire to compete against the best players.

"I really wanted to play this match as well. I always say that if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Novak Djokovic right now is one of the best players in the world, so it's going to be a really tough challenge for me. But I'm really looking forward to that match, playing such a great level," Alcaraz said in his post-match interview.

Should Carlos Alcaraz win the semifinal aginst Djokovic, he will retain the World No. 1 ranking after the conclusion of the French Open. However, if the Serb emerges victorious, he can reclaim the top spot by winning the title in Paris.
