Tommy Paul ends the French open French race by Alexei Popyrin with a quick victory | French Open 2025

Alexei Popyrin could not find any way to cross the American Iron Man Tommy Paul as a challenge of Australian men at the French Open has been married.

Popyrin, the n ° 2 of Australian men, never felt in the opportunity to win his first meeting in the Grand Chelem quarter-final. He succumbed 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 on a courtyard soil of Sun Suzanne Lenglen in a bloodless confrontation of fourth round on Sunday.

Outtapped by the world n ° 12 in all the departments, it was a huge disappointment for the 25th seeded Popyrin who hoped to go at least one round further than the US Open from last year, when he had shot Novak Djokovic before falling in the last 16 to another American, Frances Tiafoe.

The release of Popyrin means that only Daria Kasatkina, in her first click since her permanent residence, is now the last Australian position. Kasatkina faces the Russian feeling of adolescence Mirra Andreeva in the fourth round match on Monday.

Popyrin had hosted such great hopes in the match after not dropping a set in his first three games, and all started breaking by breaking the 28 -year -old Paul in the opening match. Alas, it was as good as for the Sydneysider.

Paul saved the rest of the 10 breaking points he faced throughout the match, never allowing the Australian to get stuck, while 37 unl in forced mistakes told Popyrin’s disappointing day.

The American American had fought through two five consecutive sows to reach this stadium, but was relieved to move quickly after Popyrin. Paul becomes the first American man in the quarter -final here since Andre Agassi in 2003, and could still be joined by compatriots Ben Shelton and Tiafoe.

“I’m very happy [about] A victory in sets. I played long games, so we felt really good, “said Paul, who had spent more than three and a half more on the field than Popyrin before Sunday’s match.” My team did a great job to prepare for each match, but definitively shorter games like this help. “

Paul’s tenacity was obvious when Popyrin had two break points at 3-3, which the American pushed back into the opening set before enjoying a double fault of Popyrin for a 5-3 lead.

Serving for the set, Paul found himself for once on the rear foot while Popyrin has won three breaking points. But the 12th seeded showed a huge determination to retaliate and seal the whole in 42 minutes.

At the start of the second, a horrible goalkeeper who was missing Popyrin gave Paul an immediate break and saddes with his box showed only the frustration of Australia.

Popyrin deplored all the season, his inability to find performance coherence and, once again, this display was far from the standard he had posted by beating the Nuno Borges of Portugal during the previous round.

The right blow of Aussie, so reliable against Borges, began to dyster an alarming dysfunction when he was again broken for Paul to rush into a two sets. Any chance of return quickly died when Paul, for a third set in progress, hit an early break.

Popyrin cut a desperate silhouette when a 26th winner of Paul went through him on the match point, the competition in two hours. Paul will then face Shelton or the defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, in the quarter -finals.
