Alexander Zverev continues his reign on Roland Garros' red clay, defeating Australia's Alex de Minaur 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a thrilling quarterfinal clash! The German powerhouse is now four-for-four in French Open semifinal appearances, marking his deepest run yet at the tournament. Could this finally be his Grand Slam breakthrough?
Zverev's 11th consecutive win keeps his 2024 momentum rolling, though he humorously downplayed the streak post-match: \"I'm happy to be in another semifinal… Hopefully, I can win one.\" His opponent, de Minaur, fought valiantly—\"I left my heart out there\"—but couldn't crack Zverev's relentless baseline game.
Next up? Norway's Casper Ruud, who advanced after Novak Djokovic withdrew due to injury. Ruud, a two-time finalist here, will test Zverev's stamina and focus. Will Zverev channel his 2020 US Open finals energy? Paris is buzzing!
