<p>Carlos Alcaraz saw off Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets on Tuesday to set up a mouthwatering French Open semi-final clash with incoming World No. 1 Jannik Sinner.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The reigning Wimbledon champion proved too strong for former Roland Garros runner-up Tsitsipas, powering to a 6-3, 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 victory on Court Philippe Chatrier.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I was really calm in the moments I had to [be],&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m really happy to play a semi-final here again at Roland Garros.&rdquo; Alcaraz will be desperate to right the wrongs of last year&mdash;when he suffered cramps in a defeat by Novak Djokovic&mdash;in his second successive French Open semi-final. He will face Sinner on Friday for the ninth time, with the pair&rsquo;s head-to-head record level at 4-4. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a really difficult challenge, I&rsquo;m not going to lie,&rdquo; said Alcaraz of Sinner, who will usurp Djokovic at the top of the rankings next week.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think right now he&rsquo;s the best player in the world, the player who&rsquo;s playing the best tennis right now.&rdquo; Alcaraz won his only previous match against Sinner this year in the Indian Wells semis, while they have shared a win each in Grand Slam clashes. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve played great matches, high level. It&rsquo;s the match that everybody wants to watch. So let&rsquo;s see who&rsquo;s going to win,&rdquo; said Alcaraz.</p>
