Resignation! He withdrew from Roland Garros. And he could have played with the leader of the ranking
Many fans were already keen to see the match between the 14th and 15th tennis players in the world during the first week of Roland Garros. Ultimately, Andrey Rublev advanced to the fourth round without having to go out on the court. His rival Arthur Fils withdrew from the game due to injury. As a result, the Russian will most likely play Jannik Sinner for the quarterfinals. For this to happen, the leader of the ATP rankings must win against Jiri Lehecka.
On the other side of the bracket, Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the fourth round. The runner-up defeated Bosnian Damir Dzumhur. The Spaniard confidently won the first two sets, then unexpectedly gave up the field to his opponent. He lost in the third set, and started the fourth by losing his serve. However, he corrected his mistakes at the right moment and won 6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
In the next match, the 22-year-old will face Ben Shelton, who is a year older. The two-time semi-finalist of Grand Slam tournaments prevented Matteo Gigante, who defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas, from causing a second sensation in a row. He defeated the Italian 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.
Holger Rune fought a close battle, defeating Quentin Halys 4-6, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 in a full set. The Dane also played one of the most beautiful shots of the tournament. Tommy Paul also needed five sets to defeat Karen Khachanov.
On Saturday, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev will take to the court, among others.
