2025 French Open Quarterfinal Preview: Alcaraz vs. Paul – Start Time, TV Info, and Key Match Insights
The Roland Garros 2025 quarterfinals are here, and in just a week, we’ll crown this year’s French Open champion. But first, all eyes turn to the clash between defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and 12th seed Tommy Paul.
The Spaniard boasts four Grand Slam titles, missing only the Australian Open, and has claimed 10 of his 19 career singles titles on clay, making him a true master of the red dirt. Meanwhile, Paul is enjoying his best run at Roland Garros yet, having never won a clay-court title before but now standing in the quarterfinals.
The winner moves on to the semifinals and inches closer to a shot at the trophy. Will Alcaraz’s blazing form continue, or can Paul’s steady consistency shake the champion? This one’s set to deliver.
Great sportsmanship from Carlos Alcaraz in his match against Shelton at Roland Garros.

He made the shot.
But he immediately told the umpire he didn’t have the racquet in his hand when the racquet made contact with the ball.
Gotta love this guy. ❤️

Alcaraz has dominated the 2025 season with titles in Rotterdam, Monte Carlo, and Rome, showcasing his powerful serve and exceptional clay-court skills despite a recent thigh injury. He also made finals in Barcelona and semifinals in Indian Wells. His aggressive play and ability to convert break points make him a tough contender.
Meanwhile, Paul has built his year on steady progress and strong serving, reaching the Adelaide, Dallas, Houston, and Rome semifinals and the Australian Open quarterfinals. To challenge the in-form Alcaraz, Paul will need to go beyond consistency and take control of the match, especially on clay, where Alcaraz thrives.
