Alcaraz - Djokovic: schedule and where to watch the Roland Garros semifinal match on TV

Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic this Friday in the Roland Garros semifinals, after beating one of the favorites of the tournament, the Greek Stéfanos Tsitsipás (6-2, 6-1, 7-6). The Spaniard and the Serbian will star in one of the most anticipated matches in the tournament, which pits the number one in the ATP ranking against the current number two.

It will be the second semifinal that Alcaraz has played in a Grand Slam, the first in Paris, a match that will also face the winners of the last two majors and the two best tennis players of the moment.

It will be a duel to mark the hegemony of tennis, because the Murcian tennis player protects his world number 1 that the Serb would take from him if he lifts the trophy next Sunday.

Beyond numbers, Alcaraz and Djokovic are the two players who have given the best sensations in the tournament, the ones who have done the most to put the games on their side and the ones who have best known how to turn them around when they were against them. Only with small ups and downs.

The Murcian tries to take the pressure off his first semifinal at Roland Garros: "I always take Novak as a favourite, it's not because he throws the ball out or takes pressure off me, but he's the favourite. He has two titles here and if he doesn't have more it's because he has collided against the best in history on clay, otherwise I would have more. As long as Novak is here, he will always be the favourite", he said after defeating the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinals.

The Roland Garros semifinal between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will be held this Friday, June 9, not before 2:45 p.m. The match can be seen on television on Eurosport and can also be followed live on the La Vanguardia website.
