After an epic first day of quarter-finals, with Alexander Zverev’s beefy victory and then the marathon of an exceptional level won by Rafael Nadal overnight, tickets for the last four are distributed on Wednesday June 1.
On the women’s side, No. 20 seed Daria Kastakina got the ball rolling at noon. Against her Russian compatriot Veronika Kudermetova (n°29), the quarter-finalist in Paris in 2018 won her ticket to her first Grand Slam semi-final by winning 6-4, 7-6 (5) .
In the second rotation, world number one Iga Swiatek will face American Jessica Pegula, seeded No. 11. The Pole, winner in 2020, remains on 32 victories in a row on the circuit.
The two men’s quarters will follow with the duel between the discreet Andrey Rublev, all the same seeded n ° 7, and Marin Cilic, who crushed the world n ° 2 Daniil Medvedev in eighth and who finds his best tennis. At the end of the day, a tantalizing confrontation will oppose the two rising stars of Scandinavian tennis: the Norwegian Casper Ruud, seeded n°8, faces the sensation of this edition, the 19-year-old Dane Holger Rune.
