Paris Tennis Matches - Competitor advances to the quarter-finals of the French Open alongside Alcaraz.
Jannik Sinner, a tennis player from Italy, has progressed to the quarterfinals of the French Open in Paris. The 22-year-old faced off against Frenchman Corentin Moutet and had a tough start, losing the first set 2-6.
But Sinner didn't give up, and he improved his play in the next sets, winning 6-3, 6-2, and 6-1. This marks his 11th straight win at a Grand Slam tournament. Sinner will now play against Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria, who secured his spot in the quarterfinals after defeating Hubert Hurkacz of Poland.
Sinner initially had issues with Moutet's unconventional style, which involved using stop balls and underhand serves. After dropping the first point in the second set, the favorite found his game, making more forceful and confident plays. Moutet's stamina started to decrease, and the cheering fans at Court Philippe Chatrier couldn't help him regain momentum.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz, a Spanish tennis player, also made it to the quarterfinals by defeating Canadian player Felix Auger-Aliassime. Alcaraz's score was 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. In the upcoming round, Alcaraz will play against Stefanos Tsitsipas, a Greek player, who won against Italian Matteo Arnaldi.
Alcaraz and Sinner add to the existing favorites for the title - German player Alexander Zverev and Serbian number one Novak Djokovic. Both Zverev and Djokovic are playing today.
