Alexander Zverev advanced to the singles quarterfinals at Roland Garros on Sunday, May 31. The German tennis player defeated Dutchman Jesper de Jong 7:6, 6:4 and 6:1 in the round of 16, confirming his role as one of the tournament's main favorites on the Paris clay. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Zverev managed the match after a slower start, and after taking the opening set in a tie-break, he had greater control over the match. This marks his sixth appearance in the French Open quarterfinals. His position in the tournament is further highlighted by the fact that a number of other top players are no longer in the competition. The German has nine clay-court titles and reached the final in Paris in 2024. Die Zeit ↗
In the quarterfinals, Zverev will face Spaniard Rafael Jódar. The nineteen-year-old player advanced after a five-set win over Pablo Carreño, whose performance was affected by health problems. According to available information, the match between Zverev and Jódar is scheduled for Tuesday. BBC News ↗
The Czech presence in the competition was affected by an injury to Tomáš Macháč. Macháč and Matěj Vocel withdrew from the doubles, the reason being an inflammation in the heel that had already troubled Macháč in the second round of the singles against Zverev himself. The supplied materials provide no new specific information regarding Jakub Paul. idnes.cz ↗
