Alexander Zverev is going to be «defined by his resilience» after making the French Open semi-finals a year on from his horror injury, says Mats Wilander. Zverev was locked in a fascinating, marathon duel with Rafael Nadal last year at Roland-Garros before going over on his ankle, and left Court Philippe-Chatrier in a wheelchair. Ad It has been a long road back to fitness for the German, but he has once more made the last four in Paris after seeing off Tomas Etcheverry.

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.
