The first men's Roland Garros semi-final will see Novak Djokovic take on Carlos Alcaraz for the first time since last year.
It will only be the second time Djokovic and Alcaraz play on the Atp Tour with their only match so far coming at the Madrid Open last year. It was a big one for Alcaraz but he managed to get it done in three sets creating history by becoming the latest player to beat Nadal and Djokovic back to back. He lifted the trophy and many believe the same will happen this time around if he beats Djokovic.
It will be an interesting matchup and Alcaraz is excited about the prospect of making history once more with Djokovic anticipating a tough and long match . The fate of the number one rank could be at stake with this match having direct implications on whether we'll see a Spanish or Serbian...
