Spanish Teen's Run Ends in Paris

Nineteen-year-old Jodar fought hard but the back-to-back five-setters finally caught up with him. He blew a 5-2 lead in the first set and could not recover against the experienced German, who dropped just one set on his way to the last four.

Mensik Ends Fonseca's Dream Night

In the evening match Jakub Mensik knocked out Brazilian sensation Joao Fonseca 6-4, 6-3, 7-6. The 20-year-old Czech needed seven match points but held his nerve to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final and set up a clash with Zverev.

Young Stars Steal the Show at Roland Garros

This quarter-final clash was the youngest since Rafael Nadal faced Novak Djokovic back in 2006. Fonseca had stunned the tennis world with wins over Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud, yet ran out of steam after coming into the tournament carrying a minor injury.

Women Set Up All-Ukrainian Showdown

On the women's side Marta Kostyuk edged compatriot Elina Svitolina 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 in the first all-Ukrainian Grand Slam quarter-final. She will now face Mirra Andreeva on Thursday for a spot in the final, keeping the Roland Garros drama alive.
