Zverev cracks quarter -finals of the French Open - Griekspoor gives up!

Paris, Frankreich - On June 2, 2025, Alexander Zverev reached the quarter -finals of the French Open. Zverev benefited from the injury of his opponent Tallon Griekspoor, who had to give up at 6: 4, 3-0. The German player initially had difficulty, but was able to find his focus and won the first set, while Griekspoor was visibly struck and was wearing a large pavement. Thus, Zverev could meet Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals, who was still playing against Cameron Norrie at that time and finally won his third round match against Filip Misolic without losing a set, but later announced that he was leaving the tournament due to a medial meniscus violation. This means that Jannik Sinner takes Djokovic's place at the top of the world rankings.

Coco Gauff has also reached the quarter -finals after defeating Jekaterina Alexandrowa 6: 0, 7: 5. In the next match she will now meet the winner between Madison Keys and Hailey Baptiste. The men dominate the late session on the Court Philippe Chatrier, while women are not taken into account to the same extent. Aryna Sabalenka opened the first quarter-final day, but had to cancel a press conference after the defeat against 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva, who won 6: 7, 6: 4, 6: 4. This makes Andreeva the youngest player who is in a Grand Slam semi-final this year.

more results and surprises

In another significant match, Carlos Alcaraz prevailed against Ben Shelton and thus reached the quarter -finals in which he will meet Tommy Paul. Jannik Sinner, who completed his first Grand Slam game after a doping lock, defeated Richard Gasquet and now meets Jiri Lehecka. Daniel Altmaier resigned against Frances Tiafoe in the round of 16. The early departure of Daniil Medledew, who lost to Cameron Norrie in the first round, was also surprising.

In the double competition, Krawietz/Pütz failed in the round of 16, while Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk reached the mixed double final. The competitive conditions are not only sporty, but also organizationally challenging, as the example of ONS Jabeur shows, which demands a review of the afternoon and evening games for men, as they occupy all prime time slots.
