China Daily  

Spain's Carlos Alcaraz shakes hands with Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas after winning his quarter final match at French Open in Roland Garros, Paris, France on June 6, 2023. Earlier, the Serbian battled back from one set down to defeat Russia's Karen Khachanov 4-6, 7-6, 6-2, 6-3, staying on track for a record 23rd men's Grand Slam singles title. The Spaniard only faced break points in one game during the match, immediately following Tsitsipas' save of two match points when he served at 5-2 in the third set. The two-time Roland Garros champion stormed through the third and exhibited his trademark mental resilience in the fourth set, winning eight consecutive points from 4-4 before sealing the victory with an ace.
