French Open: This is how you see Alex Zverev against Ruud live on free TV & stream | Sports

He’s back at the top of the tennis world!

The German tennis star Alexander Zverev (26) now wants to do the big coup. Just one more duel, then he would be in the final at the French Open 2023 in Paris. But first he has to beat the Norwegian Casper Ruud (24) in the semifinals on Friday.

Hardly anyone would have guessed it, but Alex Zverev is back! Just one year after his serious injury, the Hamburger is marching through the tournament and can still dream of the first Grand Slam title of his career.

In the quarter-finals, the Olympic champion defeated the Argentinian Tomás Martin Etcheverry (23) 6: 4, 3: 6, 6: 3, 6: 4 and thus entered the semi-finals in Roland Garros for the third time in a row. “I’m extremely happy to be here, but the tournament isn’t over yet,” he said after the duel.

So now he wants to reach his first final at the renowned clay court tournament. As the first German since Michael Stich in 1996. But first he has to defeat last year’s finalist Casper Ruud (No. 4 in the world). In the quarter-finals, he surprisingly threw the Dane Holger Rune out of the tournament with 6:1, 6:2, 3:6, 6:3.

Zverev knows it will be difficult on Friday: “He is a very, very good tennis player, a very solid tennis player,” said Zverev about his next opponent. “Casper has been in this situation before, he was in the final here last year, he knows exactly what to do.”

Especially because Zverev has been waiting for a win against a player from the top ten in the world rankings since his return. It has lost six since its comeback. The first win would be all the more important now.
