Brilliant Alcaraz takes Sinner to fifth set at Roland-Garros!

This time, there was a real battle on Court Philippe Chatrier. After three very disjointed sets, the two men finally played very well at the same time.

Back to his best, the Spaniard put in a prodigious performance at the end of the fourth act to pull level at one set apiece. Faced with a Sinner visibly fully recovered from his bout of cramp, the Spaniard unleashed several exceptional shots to snatch a final set (6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6 after 3h18 of play).

Carlito' is a rather surprising player. Unable to seize his opportunities against a physically weakened Sinner, he kept a much stronger Italian at bay in the fourth set.

With more percussion at the back of the court (51 winners, 47 unforced errors) and several crazy points, the Spaniard shone on the court. Exchanging unforced errors for winners, he was able to take the crowd with him to find the energy needed to win this set.

In view of the way the match went, but also the Transalpine's level of play (31 winners, 40 unforced errors), this final set seems richly deserved!

A decisive set will now be needed to decide between the two men!
