PARIS: A resurgent Alexander Zverev shrugged off a mid-match wobble to battle his way into a third consecutive French Open semi-final with a 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory over Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry on Wednesday (Jun 7).
Alexander Zverev reached the French Open semi-finals for a third successive season on Wednesday, one year after his tournament ended in pain and tears when he tore ankle ligaments which left him in a wheelchair. The German world number 27 claimed a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina and will face either Casper Ruud, the 2022 runner-up, or Holger Rune for a place in Sunday's final. It will be Zverev's sixth Grand Slam semi-final and will be played on the same Philippe Chatrier Court where he suffered his nightmare season-ending injury against Rafael Nadal in 2022.
Alexander Zverev edged a tight battle with Argentina's Tomas Etcheverry 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-4 to make the semi-finals of the French Open. It represents full circle for the German after he retired from the last four of Roland-Garros last year after sustaining a serious ankle injury while playing eventual winner Rafael Nadal. Ad Zverev had already spurned two break-point chances in the first set, before taking his third to lead Etcheverry 4-3.
There was a strange moment of confusion in the second game of Alexander Zverev's French Open quarter-final with Tomas Martin Etcheverry as he walked away thinking he had served an ace, only to then realise it had been called out. Zverev fired a big serve out wide with Etcheverry unmoved from his spot behind the baseline and no call coming from the line judge, but then chair umpire Alison Hughes called 'fault' by way of an overrule on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Alexander Zverev edged a tight contest with Frances Tiafoe to qualify for the fourth round of the French Open at Roland-Garros.

PARIS : Holger Rune is a man in a hurry to hit the Grand Slam big time and the Dane will resume his Scandinavian rivalry with Norwegian Casper Ruud at the French Open on Wednesday, with a spot in the semi-finals at stake.
