"roland-garros"

For Nadal, it was a 99th win at Roland Garros since his 2005 debut and put him just one victory away from equalling Roger Federer's all-time record of 20 Grand Slam titles

Despite dropping the first set, Serbian outclassed 17th seed Busta 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the last four of a major for the 38th time.

Czech seventh seed Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion, will face either Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin or Danielle Collins for a place in Saturday's final

Nadal beat Sinner 7-6(4), 6-4, 6-1 in the quarter-final clash to clinch the 98th victory in his 100th match at the French Open.

The 23-year-old Podoroska will play Polish teenager Iga Swiatek or Italian qualifier Martina Trevisan for a place in Saturday's final.

He will be the centre of attraction whenever the French Open is being played. However, he is in the news for a different reason on Friday when he was playing his match.
