French Open 2024 Quarter final result: Alexander Zverev defeats Alex De Minaur on Court Philippe-Chatrier to set up a clash with Casper Ruud in the last four

Zverev is hoping to become just the fifth active player to reach FOUR Roland Garros semi-finals in a row after Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem.

The German could also equal Daniil Medvedev;s tally (8) for most Grand Slam semi-final appearances among players born since 1990.

Of course, Alex De Minaur will hope to stop him and become the first Aussie to make the men's singles last four in the Paris major since Pat Rafter in 1997.

This is their 10th meeting and Zverev has been dominant in the match-up with seven wins to two.

The German won their only previous encounter on clay when he triumphed 6-3 7-6 in ruond four in Rome in 2022.

The Norwegian - a two-time finalist - will no doubt be tuning in to watch this one.

The No.7 seed has a walkover to the last four as a result of Djokovic's injury.

Eurosport expert Boris Becker has given his reaction to the breaking news that Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the French Open due to the knee injury sustained during his win over Francisco Cerundolo.

Zverev and De Minaur may well have been expecting the Serb to be their likely semi-final opponent despite the recent form of clay-court specialist, Casper Ruud.
