Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE text of the first quarter-final of Roland Garros 2024 which will pit Jannik Sinner against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov. Fifth direct match between the two, with the Italian leading 3-1. The winner of the match will find one between the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semi-final, a match that will take place from 8.15pm.
Sinner, a twenty-three year old from San Candido, comes to this event after having overcome the American Christopher Eubanks, the transalpine veteran Richard Gasquet, the Russian Pavel Kotov, and the acrobatic transalpine Corentin Moutet in four sets. Having overcome the hip problems highlighted in Madrid, the Italian number one is gradually finding his best condition after almost a month of absence from official events, and finds his opponent defeated in the final of the Masters 1000 in Miami.
For his part, Dimitrov, a thirty-three-year-old from Haskovo, reaches his first quarter-finals in the Parisian Slam following victories over the American Kovacevic, the Hungarian Marozsan, the Belgian qualifier Bergs and the Polish Hurkacz. Like our Sinner, the number 10 in the ranking also lost only one set in his path, leaving a partial to Bergs. Winner of the ATP 250 in Brisbane, the Bulgarian reached two finals in 2024, losing to the Frenchman Humbert in Marseille and, as mentioned, giving way to the South Tyrolean on the outdoor hard courts of Miami.
