Alcaraz did not have the triumphant start he had this week in his matches in Paris, but he showed that he adapts and that sooner or later his qualities will show. With the score at 0–2, the Murtian pocketed the 5–2 already synonymous with the first set.
In the second, pressure from the Spaniard forced the Italian to make a mistake in the exchange of “breaks”, which gave way to another strip of Alcaraz.

The serve went off Musetti at an unfortunate moment, in the seventh game, when the Spaniard put up another 5-2 score, which he did not let go.
In desperation, the Italian did not stop Alcaraz from controlling the rhythm of the third set, with great energy from the Spaniard. In the fifth game, Murcia made a decisive “break” one winning shot after another.
World number one, champion in Barcelona and Madrid in this ground-based tour took revenge for last year’s defeat from Musetti in the final in Hamburg and repeated the quarter-finals of the French Open, just like last year.
In the quarterfinals, the Juan Carlos Ferrero alumnus will face the winner of the bout next Sunday between Sebastian Ofner and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
On the same side of a draw and a stellar match on the horizon, Djokovic also converted his pass to the quarter-finals by beating Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas 6-3, 6-2 and 6-2. A two-time champion looking to stay at the top with 23 “great players” , showed his best game on clay this season, which he did not have with everyone on his side after Monte Carlo, Bosnia and Rome.
Thus, the Belgrade almost lost against Varillas, who had not the slightest choice. “Nole” will fight with the Russian Karen Khachanovawho beat Lorenzo Sonego (1-6, 6-4, 7-6(7), 6-1).
Thus approaches the possible duel that everyone is waiting for in Paris: Alcaraz vs. Djokovic, new generation vs. legend.
