Top-ranked Jannik Sinner’s overpowering run through the French Open has continued into the semifinals. Sinner beat No. 62 Alexander Bublik 6-1, 7-5, 6-0.

Djokovic produced a tactical masterclass to outmanoeuvre Alexander Zverev and reach his 13th French Open semi-final. Djokovic dropped serve in the opening game of the match but dominated Zverev from there and closed out a 4-6 6-2 6-3 6-4 victory in three hours. He said it proved that he can still beat the best in the world.

Alexander Zverev pointed to the weather conditions as a contributing factor to his defeat against Novak Djokovic on Wednesday. The third seed won the first set against Djokovic but then lost the remaining three to go crashing out of the French Open at the quarter-final stage.
