Rafael Nadal's French Open quarter-final victory over Novak Djokovic means the Serb will lose his world No 1 ranking later this month, with the 13-time champion's next opponent Alexander Zverev landing a huge advantage for Wimbledon. Djokovic was the defending champion in Paris but Nadal got revenge over the top seed for beating him in last year's semi-final.
PARIS: French Open night sessions will remain despite the reservations of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic whose epic quarter-final clash ended at 1:15 Wednesday (Jun 1) morning in front of thousands of shivering fans, many of whom were huddled in blankets to keep out the biting cold.
John McEnroe has warned teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz of a "problem" he will have to face going forward after his French Open quarter-final defeat to Alexander Zverev. The 19-year-old was in fine form before competing in Paris but crashed out after a four-set defeat to the German.
Carlos Alcaraz is adamant that he can one day win a Grand Slam despite being knocked out of the French Open at the quarter-final stage. Alcaraz was second-best for large parts of his last-eight encounter with Alexander Zverev and though he fought back to take the third set, he eventually went down 4-6 4-6 6-4 6-7 to the German. Ad/> Nonetheless, Alcaraz feels that his performances this year have demonstrated that he has the game to match the best players in the world, and that at 19, his time will come.
Alexander Zverev has the game to beat Rafa Nadal in the French Open semi-finals, believes the German's brother and Eurosport expert Mischa. Zverev downed Carlos Alcaraz in four sets in the quarter-finals in a match that many pundits — including Eurosport's own — believed was the 25-year-old's best-ever in a Grand Slam.
Rafael Nadal once again hinted at retirement despite his remarkable performance to outlast Novak Djokovic in the French Open quarter-finals. In their 59th meeting Nadal saw off his great rival in four sets, 6-2 4-6 6-2 7-6, to take his place in the last four where he will play Alexander Zverev. Ad/> Nadal's movement appeared to be uncompromised during the stunning encounter but as he revealed in his post-match press conference, that does not mean he has found a solution to his long-standing foot problem that caused him to limp out of the Italian Open prior to Roland-Garros.
Rafael Nadal described his incredible victory over Novak Djokovic as a “magic night” as he reached the French Open semi-finals for the 15th time. Nadal held off a strong challenge from the defending champion to win an epic contest in four hours and 12 minutes. Ad/> The 13-time champion was two breaks up in all of the first three sets and then rallied from 5-3 down in the fourth set to clinch victory at 1.15am in Paris.
Rafael Nadal edged a late-night classic against old rival Novak Djokovic in the early hours of Wednesday in four sets to reach his 15th French Open semi-final.
