Stefanos Tsitsipas is the fifth seed at Roland Garros and takes on 13th seeded Andrey Rublev for a place in the semi-finals. Tsitsipas has only made it to one Grand Slam semi-final, that was at the Australian Open last year. This is the first time that he's made it past the fourth round in the French Open.  His form coming into this tournament wasn't great as he lost to Jannick Sinner in the second round of the Rome Masters. This run to the quarter finals is his best in Grand Slam events this year, in Australia and the US, he only made it as far as the third round. He was in big trouble in the first round in Paris as he went two sets down to Jaume Munar. He recovered from that though and hasn't dropped a set since.

Andrey Rublev is only playing in the main draw of this tournament for the second time. His only previous appearance was in 2017 when he lost in the first round. Another early exit looked on the cards when he lost two tie-breaks to Sam Querrey in the first round. He battled back though to win his first ever match at Roland Garros. He's since had three more wins, none against seeded opponents. Tsitsipas looks to be in better form and he can be backed to get the win and reach the last four.
