Today’s quarter-final clash between the number 3 seed Alexander Zverev and the number 6 seed Novak Djokovic promises to deliver a spectacle on court Philippe-Chatrier. By now, these two are well-versed with each other’s game, having already met 13 times prior to today. <\/p>
The stakes are huge for this one, as the winner continues his quest towards glory. Djokovic is pursuing his 4th Roland Garros<\/a> title and a record-extending 25th Grand Slam, while Zverev is looking to go one better from last year’s appearance in the final. <\/p> However, there is still time for that, and both players know they need to be on their A-game today to progress into the semi-finals, where the winner will meet either Jannik Sinner<\/a> or Alexander Bublik. <\/p> The German number 3 seed takes to the court in this quarter-final on the back of some solid performances. He has dropped just one set during his second-round win over Jesper De Jong, but otherwise has looked to be in fine form with wins over Learner Tien and Flavio Cobolli in the first and third rounds. <\/p> In the fourth round, Zverev earned a walkover win after Tallon Griekspoor retired mid-match after being down a set and trailing 0-3 in the second. The German has just one title this year in Hamburg, but he has made some strong runs, including an appearance in the final at the Australian Open at the start of the year. <\/p> On clay, Zverev has hit 101 aces and has won 82% of his 221 service games, while converting 46% of his break points, and winning nearly 30% of his return games. <\/p>Alexander Zverev vs Novak Djokovic Preview<\/h2>
