Roland-Garros men’s final: what did we say?

Third seed Alcaraz has warned his rivals that he is improving with every match as he targets his first French Open title.

“The most important thing is to believe in myself,” said the Spaniard, who recently had to recover from a forearm injury.

“It doesn’t matter that I don’t have too many matches under my belt and that I haven’t come with a lot of rhythm.

“After each training and each match, I am getting better and better and it was easy for me.

“On the Philippe Chatrier pitch, it’s easy for me to play and it’s better to arrive at 100 percent.”
