Carlos Alcaraz returns to Paris with his elite version

Carlos Alcaraz will play this Tuesday for the third time in his career in Paris, after having competed the last two years at Roland Garros with mixed luck..

Also play around 12:30 on center court, against a French tennis player, Pierre-Hugues Herbert (30 years old and 99th in the world), expert and successful doubles player determined to make a life for himself also in singles.

Charly arrives in the City of Light after making a big impact in his time in Vienna, where he beat Andy Murray and Matteo Berrettini before kneeling in the semifinals against Zverev. And in the best position that it has occupied so far in the ranking, the 35th. It will be his first duel against the winner of five Grand Slams in pairs, all together with his compatriot Nicolas Mahut. On the horizon, a possible face to face with the Italian Sinner.
