The last time an American made the quarterfinal at Roland-Garros was 2003. Rafael Nadal was playing his first full year on the ATP Tour, Novak Djokovic had not yet played an ATP Tour match, and Carlos Alcaraz was one month old. How's that for some history?

On the men's side, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is still alive into the fourth round after a grinding win over Damir Dzumhur in four sets on Friday. He moves on to face American Ben Shelton with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line. Alcaraz has dominated on clay courts in his young career and won his first French Open title in 2024.
