Second seed Alcaraz beat Shelton 7-6(8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4。 It was the best match of the French Open so far. I didn't expect Sheldon to play so well on clay. Especially in the first set, it was a big game. It's a pity that it was in the tie-break, and he was leading all the way, but in the end Alcaraz took the lead and won the first set.

If there is a gap, Alcaraz is calmer and has fewer mistakes in key moments.

Eighth seed Musetti beat Rune 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 (10).This is a matchup between the two closest seeded players at this tournament's French Open rankings, and it will be a huge test for each other. Musetti was solid and showed great composure after being pulled back by Rune in the second set, eventually winning two sets in a row.

Rune's performance after being broken in the third set was subpar, a far cry from the way he has been fighting against adverse situations in the past. It seems like the brain is down. There are some regrets.

The other two games,No. 12 seed Paul6-3/6-3/6-3 victory over Poppelin,No. 15 seed Tiafoe6-3/6-4-7-6(4) to advance to the quarter-finals.

1/4 Finals (Second Half)

There are no American players left in the top half of the draw, so Paul and Tiafoe are the only two players to reach the quarterfinals of this French Open. That's a pretty good result. Perhaps, it is time to take off the hat that "American players are not good at clay".

Of course, most of the American players in the seeding are concentrated in the bottom half, including Fritz (4), Paul (12), Shelton (13), Tiafoe (15), Korda (23). After No. 7 seed Ruud exited early due to injury, the American player was the stronger presence in the draw.

Musetti against Tiafoe,The head-to-head record is 2:3, and the clay court hand-to-head record is 1:0.

Alcaraz vs. Paul,The head-to-head record is 4:2 and the clay court head-to-head record is 1:0.

Do the two Americans have a chance to advance to the semifinals?
