The Spaniard assured the crowd at Roland Garros that his meeting with number two seed Jannik Sinner would not disappoint, with the Italian playing at the top of his game.

The pair are evenly split with their career head-to-head record at 4-4. Alcaraz won their most recent meeting, a semi-final match at Indian Wells this year.

“You have to run like it is a marathon, you know, side-to-side… Everything he does, he does it perfectly,” Alcaraz told reporters of playing Sinner.

“I think it is the hardest thing to face Jannik. At the same time I love that. I love this kind of matches.”
