Jannik Sinner will face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the French Open. Serb defeated Alexander Zverev and is now dueling with the South Tyrolean.

Sinner himself had his semi-final entry (6:1, 7:5, 6:0) little trouble. Bublik was only able to keep pace in the second set, and even received the maximum penalty in the third set, losing 0-6. After 1.47 hour and XNUMX seconds, Sinner converted his first match point to win. In the subsequent interview, the Sextner said: "With him, you never know what's going to happen, so I focused on my game and tried to play consistently and serve well. I managed both of those things, so I'm very happy."

One thing is already certain: Sinner has a few hours more time to recover than his upcoming opponent. Nevertheless, the Pustertal native says: "Semifinal matches at Grand Slams are always very special. It will definitely be another great match, hopefully I'll be ready," Sinner said. A win would mark his 20th consecutive Grand Slam match victory.
