Carlos Alcaraz says he doesn’t feel unbeatable at Roland Garros, the site of the Paris Olympics tennis competition and the French Open title he won last month. His opponents might disagree.

Alcaraz ran his winning streak at the place to 11 matches and became the youngest man to reach the singles semifinals at a Summer Games since Novak Djokovic in 2008, getting past Tommy Paul of the U.S. 6-3, 7-6 (7) at Court Philippe Chatrier on Thursday.

“I had a really great two weeks in Roland Garros — playing great tennis here, feeling great moving, feeling great hitting the ball. So (I came) here having the same feeling,” said Alcaraz, a 21-year-old Spaniard. “But I can lose against everybody. I have to respect every player.”

In the semifinals Friday, Alcaraz will take on Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada, a 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3 winner over three-time major runner-up Casper Ruud of Norway, and the 37-year-old Djokovic will meet Lorenzo Musetti of Italy. Djokovic felt pain in his surgically repaired right knee while beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (3) on Thursday night and said he’s concerned about how he’ll be against Musetti.

Musetti eliminated Tokyo Games gold medalist Alexander Zverev of Germany 7-5, 7-5.

“One of my best matches, so far, of my career,” said the 22-year-old Musetti, who reached his first major semifinal at Wimbledon last month before losing to Djokovic.

The women’s final Saturday will be between Zheng Qinwen of China and Donna Vekic of Croatia. Zheng defeated No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland 6-2, 7-5, while Vekic was a 6-4, 6-0 winner against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova of Slovakia.

Alcaraz already owns four Grand Slam titles and is just a few days older than Djokovic was when he took home a bronze for Serbia 16 years ago in Beijing.

This is only the latest in a series of “youngest since” or “youngest ever” achievements for Alcaraz, whose recent championships at the French Open and Wimbledon raised his Grand Slam count to four. As it is, he was the youngest man with a major championship on hard, grass and clay courts. In 2022, he became the first teenager to reach No. 1 in the ATP rankings, getting there after winning the U.S. Open.

And so on.

“It’s been a while since Alcaraz lost a match here,” Paul said, “so I would say that he’s probably the favorite, right?”

Alcaraz and Paul, whose best showing at a major was a semifinal run at the 2023 Australian Open, are developing a bit of a rivalry. Alcaraz is now 5-2 head-to-head, which includes defeating Paul a few weeks ago in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

This one, played at Chatrier stadium with Spain’s queen in the crowd, could have become a lot more complicated.

Paul nearly pushed the match to a third set.

“A really intense match,” Alcaraz said.

Paul served for the second at 5-3 and got within two points of taking it a couple of times there, but he couldn’t get closer, including missing a volley off a dipping cross-court passing shot by Alcaraz, then pushing a backhand long. Alcaraz eventually broke with an on-the-run forehand passing winner after Paul smacked a terrific forehand approach shot to a corner.

The crowd went wild. Alcaraz pointed his right index finger to his ear, then raised that fist.

In the tiebreaker, Paul earned a set point at 7-6, and he conjured up a drop half-volley that Alcaraz sprinted to, then slid, and guided a down-the-line backhand that went off the edge of Paul’s racket frame and toward the stands. Again, Alcaraz gestured as the spectators roared.

On Alcaraz’s second match point, Paul yanked a forehand wide, and that was that.

“It’s not a secret that, right now,” Paul said, “Alcaraz is kind of like the golden standard.”

After losing in singles, Paul went back out on court and teamed with Taylor Fritz to reach the doubles semifinals by beating Andy Murray and Dan Evans 6-2, 6-4 in the last match of Murray’s career.

The three-time Grand Slam champion and the only player in Olympics tennis history with two singles golds had announced that he would retire after the Paris Games.

Djokovic appears to have injured his right knee once more after sustaining the same injury on this very court at the French Open a couple of months ago. While he pulled out of the tournament back then, he's in the mood to give it a go this time since he's playing for his country.

Musetti got the better of defending champion Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals, beating him 7-5, 7-5. The young Italian has been in the form of his life and will look to beat his decorated rival for an assured medal at the Games.

Djokovic has never reached the gold medal play-off match before. The pressure of playing for Serbia has bogged him down time and time again. However, he leads Musetti 6-1 in the head-to-head and recently defeated him in the Wimbledon semifinals. If he's not too injured, then he will be favored to win yet again.

Their match at the French Open earlier this year was kinda telling in terms of how this one will probably end up looking, but we can’t ignore Auger-Aliassime being pretty much the best possible version of himself the last two rounds. The Canadian has somehow played his best two matches of the season against Casper Ruud (here and Madrid), but it’s unlikely to give him much against someone as versatile and able to expose his backhand deficiencies as Alcaraz is.

Auger Aliassime has surprised most people with his terrific run so far. Beating Alcaraz on clay would undoubtedly be the best achievement of his career. Despite holding a decent head-to-head record against the Spaniard, I just cannot see him overcoming Alcaraz. The French Open champion’s all-round game is just too strong and is capable of exploiting the Canadian’s weaknesses, especially his backhand.

Alcaraz was in a spot of bother and looked tired in the second set against Tommy Paul but raised his level at the right moments to get it done in straight sets. That felt like the biggest challenge for the French Open champion so far, and he would be relieved to win it. Auger-Aliassime has looked in inspired form this Olympics as he took out Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals. The Canadian player has the chance to win an Olympic medal, which would be a huge achievement for him. It was a perfect serving match from Auger-Aliassime, and he will need that again to have any chances against Alcaraz.
