Alexander Zverev of Germany has once again proven his prowess on the clay courts, securing his spot in the semifinals of the French Open for the fourth consecutive year. After a thrilling match against Australia's Alex de Minaur, which ended with scores of 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4, Zverev continues his impressive 11-match winning streak at Roland Garros.
\"I'm happy to be in another semifinal,\" Zverev remarked after his victory. \"Hopefully, I can win one.\" His consistent performances have made him a formidable contender in Grand Slam tournaments, with his best result being a finalist at the U.S. Open in 2020.
On the other side, de Minaur expressed his disappointment, saying, \"Had my chances. Probably should have taken that second set. I left my heart out there. Did everything I could.\" Despite the loss, it was de Minaur's best performance at the French Open to date.
Looking ahead, Zverev is set to face Norway's Casper Ruud in the semifinals on Friday. Ruud, who benefited from Novak Djokovic's withdrawal due to injury, has been a strong performer, finishing as the tournament's runner-up in both 2022 and 2023.
