Will play another great match on Sunday- Alexander Zverev

After the victory, Zverev said, ‘Mensik started playing amazingly in the third set. He really reached a different level. But it is a grand slam. These are best-of-five set matches. Opponents will play better. You have to deal with it. I did, and I hope to have another great match on Sunday.”

The second semi-final of the French Open singles was a heartbreak for Matteo Arnoldi. On Friday, he had to withdraw from his match against Flavio Coboli in Paris due to viral illness. With Arnoldi’s withdrawal, Cobolli has reached his first Grand Slam final. Koboli will face Alexander Zverev in the final on Sunday.
