Stefanos Tsitsipas faces Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros on Tuesday. The Greek has been waiting for "this clash" since the start of the tournament and hopes to bring down the 20-year-old Spanish prodigy.
The anticipated shock since the draw is rather in the potential semifinal between the young Spaniard and Novak Djokovic, the two main favorites of Roland-Garros in the absence of Rafael Nadal. "It pushes us all to become better. That kind of rivalry is the hardest thing about our sport," says Tsitipas.
