Germany’s Alexander Zverev reached the French Open semi-finals for a third successive year on Wednesday with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina.

Zverev, the world number 27, will face either Casper Ruud, the 2022 runner-up, or Holger Rune for a place in Sunday’s final.

It will be Zverev’s sixth Grand Slam semi-final and comes a year after he suffered season-ending ankle ligament damage in his last-four loss to Rafael Nadal at the tournament.
