French Open 2024: Alcaraz, Gauff, Sinner Favored in Quarterfinal Clashes

French Open 2024: Preview and Predictions for Quarterfinal Matchups

The French Open 2024 is heating up, with the quarterfinals set to feature some tantalizing matchups. Here's a closer look at three of the most anticipated clashes:

Carlos Alcaraz vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas

Their rivalry has been one-sided so far, with Alcaraz holding a perfect 5-0 record against Tsitsipas. However, Tsitsipas has shown impressive form on clay this season, winning in Monte Carlo and reaching the final in Barcelona. Alcaraz, on the other hand, has been battling an arm injury but has looked increasingly sharp with each round. Despite Tsitsipas' improved form, Alcaraz's dominance in their head-to-head and his recent resurgence make him the slight favorite.

Coco Gauff vs. Ons Jabeur

Gauff has been in scintillating form this year, reaching the final of the Australian Open and winning the WTA Finals. Jabeur, known for her flamboyant shot-making, will be eager to avenge her 6-0, 6-1 defeat to Gauff in Cancun last year. Both players are comfortable on clay, but Gauff's consistency and speed should give her the edge.

Jannik Sinner vs. Grigor Dimitrov

Sinner, like Alcaraz, has overcome an injury to find his rhythm in Paris. He has dropped only one set so far and has looked increasingly dominant. Dimitrov, a former world number three, has also played well but faces an uphill battle against Sinner's powerful baseline game. Sinner's recent victory over Dimitrov in the Miami Masters final on a hard court suggests he should be favored on clay as well.
