ATP File Tour: Spain's French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz quelled a tough fight from Tommy Paul of the United States to reach the men's singles semifinals of the tennis competition at the Olympic Games at the Stade Ronald Garros here on Thursday.

Alcaraz was pushed hard but found a way to continue his quest for Olympic glory to reach the last four stage and get into the medal rounds, maintaining his chances of adding to the French Open and Wimbledon titles he won in the last couple of months. The Spaniard recovered from a slump at the start of the second set to overcome American Tommy Paul 6-3, 7-6(7).

The 21-year-old had entered the match having earned three consecutive straight-sets wins in singles. The second seed was tested by the American, who beat Alcaraz in Montreal and Toronto in the past. However, as fans have become accustomed to in his electrifying early career, Alcaraz found a way in the key moments.
