Alexander Zverev attempts to reach the last four at Roland Garros for the fourth successive year. The fourth seed takes on Alex de Minaur who is seeded 11th and is in his first quarter-final at Roland Garros. Zverev has already won the Italian Open on clay this year and is second in the ATP Live Race. On all surfaces this is his eighth quarter-final of the year and his third on clay. The German is fifth in the live rankings and reaching the final will take him up to fourth. He'll be glad this match is being played on Wednesday after his early morning finish in the last 16 against Holger Rune. He had to win the final two sets to win that match and it ended at 1.40am. That was his second successive five-setter after also needing a final set to get past Tallon Griekspoor in round three. He leads de Minaur 7-2 in previous meetings and won their only match on clay but it did go to three sets.

Before this year, Alex de Minaur had never got into the third round of this outdoor clay court tournament. He’s had a very good year and his run to the last eight has seen him rise to a career-high eighth in the live rankings. WInning this match will see him rise to seventh. De Minaur is seventh in the Live ATP Race and it’s not all because of his form on hard courts. This is his second clay court quarter-final of the year. He also got to this stage in the Monte Carlo Masters. This tournament has seen him get wins over Alex Michelsen, Jaume Munar and Jan-Lennard Struff with only the latter taking a set off him. The last 16 saw de Minaur defeat Daniil Medvedev in four sets after losing the first. We go for over 3.5 sets to be played in this match.
