Carlos Alcaraz continues to make steady progress at Roland Garros . The reigning French clay-court champion is playing at a high level, but he's also struggling . A clear example of this was his final match in the third round against Damir Dzumhur , whom he defeated 6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.

Despite that minor set scare, the Spaniard has advanced to the round of 16. His opponent will be Ben Shelton , the 22-year-old American who is ranked 13th in the world. The two have met twice, with Alcaraz winning twice .

Their first head-to-head meetings were at the 2023 Canadian Masters 1000 and the 2023 Laver Cup . This time, it will be their first match on clay.
