Alcaraz, Zverev pull off French Open escapes as Nadal, Djokovic cruise

Rafael Nadal has never lost beyond the fourth round at Roland Garros

Spanish teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz and third seed Alexander Zverev both saved a match point in five-set French Open thrillers, while 13-time winner Rafael Nadal and reigning champion Novak Djokovic eased into the third round Wednesday.

"I'm happy still being in the tournament right now," said Zverev, who was match point down on serve at 4-5 in the final set.
