Alexander Zverev fought back to claim the opening set 7-6 against 19-year-old Spanish debutant Rafa Jódar in their Roland Garros quarter-final match. The encounter marks Jódar's first appearance on the iconic Philippe Chatrier court at the French Open.

Zverev enters the tournament as the favorite to capture his elusive first Grand Slam title, following the exits of Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, and the absence of Carlos Alcaraz. The German is aiming to overcome his previous final defeats at the US Open, Roland Garros, and the Australian Open, while Jódar is playing his first Roland Garros with hunger and no fear. chickenroadslot.pro
