El 8 de mayo, los estudiantes católicos estaban como de costumbre en la misa diaria en la capilla lateral cuando el servicio fue interrumpido por alertas en sus teléfonos. En el Vaticano, humo blanco salía de la capilla Sixtina, indicando que un nuevo líder de su fe había sido elegido.
The 13th-seeded Shelton, twice a semifinalist at majors, delivered serves at up to 143 mph (230 kph) and forehands at up to 116 mph (187 kph). Alcaraz, already a four-time Grand Slam champion, showed off various parts of his repertoire.It was tighter than the score might indicate: Shelton held three opportunities to own the opening set, leading in the tiebreaker at 6-4, 6-5 and 7-6. Take any of the subsequent points, and Shelton would own that set.
But Alcaraz — who meets No. 12in the quarterfinals Tuesday — saved the first with a service winner. Shelton netted a backhand on the next. And the last ended with Shelton smacking a backhand right at the body of Alcaraz, who was up at the net and contorted himself in order to chop a drop volley winner.Alcaraz then converted his second set point, closing a 15-stroke exchange with a down-the-line forehand that drew a mistake from Shelton.
The third set went to Shelton when Alcaraz put a forehand into the net, and the big-swinging American punched the air, then his chest, and screamed: “Let’s go, baby! Come on!”The fourth swung Alcaraz’s way when he used a drop shot winner to set up a break point that he claimed for a 2-1 edge and, after a total of 3 hours, 19 minutes, he was able to finish off an 11th consecutive win at Roland-Garros.

The British shift angered Algeria, Morocco’s regional rival, which in a statement on Sunday blasted Morocco’s plan as “empty of content and incapable of contributing to a serious and credible settlement of the conflict.”Polisario Front representatives didn’t respond to questions about the United Kingdom’s stance.
PRINCETON, Nueva Jersey, EE.UU.
