Alcaraz vs Shapovalov preview

After being made to battle through to this third round clash, French Open favorite Carlos Alcaraz will be hoping for a much smoother time as he takes on 26th seed Denis Shapovalov today.

Spanish star Alcaraz was made to work after an unexpected battle with Japan’s Taro Daniel. The 112th seed took the second set and gaining the upper hand before the world no.1 eventually took control to win the absorbing match 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Canada's Shapovalov meanwhile made it through to the third round at Roland Garros for the first time with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Italy's Matteo Arnaldi on Wednesday.
