On quarterfinal day, there are six seeds remaining from the original 16.
But only Carlos Alcaraz was still alive from the top five seeds.
It feels as though it’s his to win, even though he’s never won it and indeed has only played it once before.
So it will be up to the rest of the field to go against that wave, including defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas (who went out to Musetti after a great start). And Alcaraz’s Friday opponent, Arthur Fils – who almost had him.
Until he didn’t.
(Monte Carlo is six hours ahead of EDT).
