Watch French Open 2025 live streams as defending champion Carlos Alcaraz takes on 12th seed Tommy Paul for a place in the semi-finals at Roland Garros.

Alcaraz arrived in Paris in excellent form after beating Jannik Sinner in the final of the Italian Open but was far from his best in the opening rounds as he dropped sets against Fabian Marozsan and Damir Dzumhur. However, the Spaniard showed his class in his last-16 clash with American youngster Ben Shelton, hitting 43 winners as he secured a four-set victory. At home on the red clay courts, he’ll enter this match as the firm favorite as he bids to secure his fourth straight victory over Paul.

Having never previously made it past the third round at Roland Garros, Paul has shown plenty of grit to reach the quarter-finals, coming through tough five-set matches against Marton Fucsovics and 24th seed Karen Khachanov. The 28-year-old upped his game in the last round as he swept aside Alexei Popyrin and now has the opportunity to reach just his second last-four appearance at a Slam. To do so, he’ll have to defeat Alcaraz for the first time outside of North America.

The winner will face Lorenzo Musetti in the semi-finals after the Italian overcame Frances Tiafoe in four sets. Will it be Alcaraz or Paul who advances? Tune in to find out.
