Quarterfinals set in the 2024 Olympic Men’s Tennis Tournament

The quarterfinals are set in the men’s singles draw at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. In the most intriguing third round match of the day, Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Daniil Medvedev of the Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN), 6-3, 7-6. In the second set tiebreak, Auger-Aliassme won 7-5.

To put Auger-Alisassime’s Wednesday victory into perspective, he was one of only two lower seeded players to deliver a third round win. Auger-Alisassime was seeded 13th at the Olympic Games and Medevedev was seeded fifth. The other was Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti, the 11th seed, who upset the seventh seed Taylor Fritz of the United States, 6-4, 7-5. Over the last month, Mussetti was playing great tennis as he won the Hamburg Open, and reached the semifinals at Wimbledon.

Mussetti also proved to the tennis world he could play exceptional tennis on hard court and grass in a very short period of each other. The excuse many players took of skipping the Olympic Games was they did not want to play on clay right after playing on grass, and right before a demanding hard court season in North America in the month of August.

Some household named in men’s tennis are in the quarterfinals. They are the tournament’s first seed and 24-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic of Belgrade, Serbia, who will play 2021 French Open finalist and 2023 Australian Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece;  Alexander Zverev of Germany, the 2020 United States Open finalist, 2020 Olympic Games champion, and 2024 French Open finalist, who will play Musetti; Casper Ruud of Norway, the three-time grand slam finalist (2022 United States Open, and 2022 and 2023 French Open), who will play Auger-Aliassime, the 2021 United States Open semifinalist; and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, the three-time grand slam champion (2023 and 2024 Wimbledon, 2022 United States Open, and 2024 French Open) versus 2023 United States Open semifinalist Tommy Paul of the United States.
