Chest pains and trouble breathing? Everyone remember: pretend like it's normal and if anyone asks... blame Covid.

Alcaraz us the best player in the world right now. That's just a fact.

He is third favorite to win Roland Garros, which is not surprising. Rafa did have a battle with Goffin yesterday and this tournament is at some altitude. So, I wouldn't take too much away from this. The main concern for Rafa at RG will probably be lack of match play if he doesn't go far in Rome.

Who is the betting favorite for the semifinal against Djokovic? In my mind Alcaraz is the favorite.

I think Djokovic wins tomorrow. This was sort of a "career-defining" for Alcaraz against Nadal, just given the comparisons between the two players and them being from the same country.

First set to Djokovic. Alcaraz almost battled back down 2-6 in the breaker. The ball is flying a bit out there.

Djokovic takes the first set over Alcaraz in a tiebreak. High-level stuff.

We've had guys like Thiem become big clay court threats in the recent past, but this will be the most competitive French Open we have had in a long, long time.

Djokovic, Nadal, and Alcaraz will probably be somewhat close to a three-headed favorite, but Tsitsipas could certainly win the tournament, too. It really will just depend on the draw. You could end up with three of them on one side and one on the other, and then that guy's odds will dip.

Alcaraz needs to improve his rally shot tolerance (as they say) just a little bit. Can't miss so many neutral balls. Novak really wants this one and is probably going to take it.

Novak is going to make less errors in rallies than Nadal, and that's always been the case. A slightly tougher matchup for Alcaraz, for sure.

Hell yes he does.

I feel like this is a great match for Djokovic moving forward either way

That was not a fluke. The better player won.

Interested to see this version of Alcaraz in best-of-5 set tennis. Could be the only thing keeping him from being the favorite at Roland Garros.

However, if he wins this and then also Rome next week, they'll pretty much have to make him the favorite anyways.
