Nadal continues his reign over Roland Garros – day 10 at the French Open

Rafael Nadal won the epic 59th instalment of his rivalry with Novak Djokovic.

The Spaniard is through to a 15th Roland Garros semi-final and on course for a 14th title.

Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz’s run was ended in four sets by Alexander Zverev, and Coco Gauff reached the semi-final of a grand slam for the first time by beating fellow American Sloane Stephens.

Here, the PA news agency looks back at day 10 at the US Open.

A four-hour, four-set marathon ended at 1.15am local time after Nadal clinched a fourth-set tie-break to seal a memorable 6-2 4-6 6-2 7-6 (4) victory over Djokovic.

Just know that if you love yourself, who cares what anyone else thinks?- Coco Gauff

To be honest you could have knocked out a dissertation during some of the games in the Nadal/Djokovic match.

Martina Trevisan has crept under the radar until she beat 17th seed Laylah Fernandez in three sets to reach her first grand slam semi-final at the age of 28. She will face Gauff for a place in the final.

There was disappointment in the men’s doubles as top seeds Joe Salisbury and American Rajeev Ram lost a match tie-break in their quarter-final against Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek. Neal Skupski and Dutchman Wesley Koolhof were also beaten in three by Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.

Women: Laylah Fernandez (17).Men: Novak Djokovic (1), Carlos Alcaraz (6).

Iga Swiatek, the world number one and 2020 champion, faces American 11th seed Jessica Pegula for a place in the semi-finals. The night match sees Danish teenager Holger Rune face Norwegian eighth seed Casper Ruud.
