Utilisez les superlatifs que vous voulez pour décrire le niveau de jeu de Carlos Alcaraz sur cette quinzaine à Roland-Garros. Le n°1 mondial augmente son niveau de tennis match après match et ne laisse que des miettes à ses adversaires. Après Lorenzo Musetti, c’est Stefanos Tsitsipas qui a subi la loi du joueur de 20 ans ce mardi en night session. Le 5e joueur mondial, n’est pas dans la stratosphère de Carlito. Ce dernier a étrillé le Grec sur le score de 6-2, 6-1, 7-6(5) en 2h13. Dominant dans la diagonale revers, il lui a tout fait à côté avec un festival d’amortis et de coups gagnants. Complètement sonné, Tsitsipas a été ovationné après avoir inscrit son quatrième jeu du match à 6-2, 6-1, 3-1. Cela lui a fait du bien puisqu'il est parvenu à accrocher un tie-break inespéré et à faire douter son adversaire qui l'a finalement remporté sept points à cinq. Alcaraz envoie un message à Djokovic, son prochain adversaire, qui devra être prêt à affronter l’ouragan espagnol…

00:00 It is often said that tennis is an individual sport,
00:04 but it is never more beautiful than when it is collective.
00:09 BNP Paribas, faithful to tomorrow's tennis for 50 years.
00:15 Yes, I think my level is getting better every time I win.
00:23 I think today was such a good level. I played really, really well.
00:29 I would say one of my best matches of my career.
00:33 When we watch you play, everything looks so simple and easy.
00:40 When you are on the court, can you tell us what looks simple and easy to you?
00:46 How do you play the game?
00:48 And when you are not playing tennis, can you tell us something that you are really, really bad at,
00:54 just to make everyone else feel that in some way you are a human just like us?
01:03 Today, I would say everything I did was easy.
01:10 It seems easy for everyone, even for me as well.
01:15 I try to do it simple for me.
01:20 Every shot I make in the match means that I am really comfortable on that shot.
01:30 I feel great. I feel that every time I make that shot, I am going to be in.
01:40 It is simple for me as well.
01:43 I would say on the court, I am not really good at anything else.
01:50 I don't know.
01:57 Looking sad. You are not very good at looking sad.
02:01 That is probably one thing.
02:03 I don't know. A lot of things I am not really good at.
02:08 But I don't know what to say right now.
02:14 Hi Carlos.
02:26 Next is an interesting match a lot of people have been thinking about
02:30 since the beginning of the tournament against Novak.
02:33 How do you anticipate that challenge of facing Novak to be like?
02:40 And how, if at all, do you think your win over him last year will affect things on Friday?
02:51 I would say since the draw came out, everyone was expecting that match,
03:00 the semi-final against Novak.
03:02 Myself as well. I really want to play that match.
03:07 Since last year, I really wanted to play again against Novak.
03:15 We both are playing at a great level.
03:21 As I said before, if you want to be the best, you have to be the best.
03:25 I am really looking forward to that match. I am going to enjoy it.
03:28 Of course, for me, it is amazing to make history,
03:33 playing a semi-final against such a legend like Novak.
03:38 It is going to be a great match for me.
03:41 The match we played last year doesn't affect too much this one.
03:49 It was one year ago. We both learned a lot from that match.
03:55 It is going to be totally different. Let's see what happens on Friday.
04:01 Which is more important, his experience or your youth?
04:10 I want to think my youth.
04:12 He is going to be in his 45th semi-final of a Grand Slam.
04:20 This is going to be my second.
04:22 I would say the experience is better at that point.
04:30 I am not going to think about that.
04:33 Anyone else?
04:34 Charlie, at the end of the match, I came down and I watched the match
04:46 on the television screen. The cleaners were here and they were tidying up.
04:52 But they stopped. Everybody stopped to watch you play.
04:58 How does it feel knowing that when you are playing tennis,
05:02 the world stops to watch you?
05:04 It feels great. Everybody wants to watch my match, my tennis.
05:13 As I said before, I enjoy playing tennis.
05:16 But I try to make people enjoy watching tennis, not only my match.
05:21 I always make people introduce themselves to tennis.
05:27 I would say I am making that. For me, it is amazing.
05:32 I am really happy for that.
