The cream has risen to the top in the bottom half of the men’s draw and a French Open quarter-final between third seed Carlos Alcaraz and world number nine Stefanos Tsitsipas should live up to all expectations.
Alcaraz has overcome an injury-ravaged preparation in fine style, dropping only one set across his four tournament wins and beating Sebastian Korda and Felix Auger-Aliassime in his two most recent encounters.
However, he should expect his toughest test yet against Tsitsipas, who was the French Open runner-up in 2021 and appears to be performing every bit as good this season.
The Greek star has dropped only two sets across his four tournament wins and there was a lot to like about his come-from-behind victory over Matteo Arnaldi in the last 16.
The winner of Tuesday's tussle will face Grigor Dimitrov or Jannik Sinner in the final four.
Live coverage of the quarter-final between Grigor Dimitrov and Jannik Sinner is available to watch via the bet365's Sports Live Streaming service in the UK.

Stefanos Tsitsipas v Carlos Alcaraz is due to take place on Tuesday 4th June 2024, with the start time to be confirmed once Tuesday's French Open order of play is announced.
Given this is a quarter-final between two high-profile players, the match is likely to be played on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Alcaraz has dominated the early stages of his personal rivalry with Tsitsipas, winning all five previous meetings.
Three of those battles have come on clay, which includes at this stage of last season’s French Open with Alcaraz easing to a 6-2 6-1 7-6 success.
However, Tsitsipas has lost only three of his 20 clay-court matches since that defeat and finals in Barcelona and Monte Carlo show him to be in excellent form.
Alcaraz has played 12 clay-court matches this season, winning nine times with seven of those successes coming in straight sets.
Three of Alcaraz’s five wins over Tsitsipas have also been recorded in straight sets.
Stefanos Tsitsipas wins | 0 |
