German tennis player Alexander Zverev is set to face off against Casper Ruud in the French Open semi-finals, a feat he has achieved for the fourth consecutive year. The 27-year-old fourth seed defeated Alex de Minaur in a closely contested match with a final score of 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 6-4. Zverev, who is pursuing his first Grand Slam title, is determined to make the most of this opportunity and overcome any challenges that come his way.
In the other semi-final, Italian second seed Jannik Sinner will face off against Spanish third seed Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner advanced to the last four without playing a match due to Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal from the tournament. Djokovic, the defending champion, pulled out of the competition due to a knee injury that affected his performance in the previous round.
Ruud, who defeated Zverev in last year’s semi-finals, will be looking for revenge as he tries to reach his first Grand Slam final. Zverev expressed his happiness at reaching another semi-final and is hopeful that this time he will be able to secure a win and claim his first Grand Slam title.
The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the French Open as these two talented players battle it out for a spot in the final. With both players determined to succeed and no clear favorite, it promises to be an intense match that will keep fans on their toes until the very end.
