– German wildcard Daniel Altmaier’s impressive French Open was ended emphatically by Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta as the 17th seed claimed a 6-2 7-5 6-2 victory late on Monday, Reuters reports. Carreno Busta had to weather a second-set fightback by the 22-year-old but proved too experienced as he reached the quarter-final for the second time. His reward is a clash with top seed Novak Djokovic in a repeat of their US Open fourth round when the Serbian world number one was defaulted for inadvertently hitting a line judge with a ball. Altmaier had already dispatched seeds Jan-Lennard Struff and Matteo Berrettini and was hoping to become the first player to reach the quarter-final of his maiden Grand Slam appearance since Alex Radulescu at Wimbledon in 1996.
