The German reeled off 11 consecutive points to get back on serve, and he never looked back, rambling through 16 of the final 21 games to improve to 43-10 lifetime at Roland-Garros.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zverev, who squandered a two sets to one lead against Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 final<\/a>, has reached at least the semifinal in five of his last six Roland-Garros appearances, but has lost three of his four semifinals in Paris. <\/p>\n Zverev will face the winner of Tuesday’s night session between Joao Fonseca<\/a> and Jakub Mensik<\/a>. <\/p>\n The German has defeated both players on clay this season. He took out Fonseca in the quarterfinals in Monte-Carlo, 6-3 in the third, and defeated Mensik 6-3 in the third in Madrid, in the round of 16. <\/p>\n With Tuesday’s win, Zverev became the ninth man in the Open era to play at least five semifinals on the Parisian terre battue. <\/p>\n Is it an achievement that the German takes pride in? <\/p>\n “Not really,” he said. “Don’t really care. I want to keep going, of course. I want to be in the tournament and I want to win the matches that are ahead of me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The German reeled off 11 consecutive points to get back on serve, and he never looked back, rambling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-620359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
