Carlos Alcaraz, the defending French Open champion, ⁤delivered a commanding performance to defeat Tommy Paul and advance to the semifinals at Roland Garros. ‍The No.2 seed needed ‍less than an hour to secure a two-set lead, conceding only a ⁢single ⁢game.

Alcaraz will now face⁣ Lorenzo⁣ Musetti, 23, for a place in the final. Musetti, ⁢the eighth seed from ⁢Italy, earlier defeated Frances ⁤Tiafoe in four sets, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.
