- Novak Djokovic (ATP 1) – Pablo Carreño Busta (ATP 18) 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 3, 6: 4
- Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP 6) – Andrej Rublew (ATP 12) 7: 5, 6: 2, 6: 3
Stefanos Tsitsipas has reached the semifinals of the French Open in Paris in a sovereign way. The Greek defeated Russian Andrej Rublew in just under 2 hours with 7: 5, 6: 2, 6: 3.
Tsitsipas played his dazzling form once again in Paris. After losing the first two sets in the first round against Spaniard Jaume Munar, who was ranked 109th, Tsitsipas now has 15 sets in a row.
The 22-year-old made 35 winners against Rublew and made only 17 unforced errors. However, Tsitsipas almost gave up the opening set: Rublew led 5: 3 before the Greek won 4 games in a row.
Now against the world’s number 1
In his first Paris semi-final, Tsitsipas will face Novak Djokovic. The Serbian sent the great Pablo Carreño Busta in a high-level match on the trip home in 4 sets.
Djokovic delivered the first round 4: 6. Previously, the world number 1 had won four times with 3-0 sets in Paris. But Djokovic found an additional team later. This was also necessary because Carreño Busta showed an impressive performance. The Spaniard defeated 42 winners and only made 29 unforced errors in 3:10 hours of play.
Djokovic with 53 winners
But Djokovic even hit 53 direct winners (with 41 unforced errors). Above all, the 17 Grand Slam winner was only slightly better than his opponent in the crucial phases of the match.
Djokovic is in the semi-finals of the French Open for the 10th time in his career and can continue to dream of his second title in Paris after 2016.
