ROLAND GARROS – One question Carlos Alcaraz hadn’t answered as so many anointed him the next king of clay was this: how would he thrive in the best-of-five format?
Alcaraz offered up a nifty answer to that question Wednesday as he was down match point to veteran countryman Albert Ramos-Viñolas – and down in the fifth set as well – and crawled back to win.
As well, Alexander Zverev and Diego Schwartman both came back from 0-2 set deficits to win in five.
Pretty good Roland Garros so far, eh?
