French Open Quarterfinals LIVE: Ruud makes maiden Grand Slam semifinal, Cilic beats Rublev in epic 5-set thriller, Iga Swiatek sets up Kasatkina clash – Follow French Open 2022 LIVE updates
Marin Cilic is 33, nearly eight seasons past his one Grand Slam title at the 2014 U.S. Open — and, until Wednesday, more than four full years removed from his most recent trip to the semifinals of a major tournament. If he keeps serving like this, there’s no reason to think about quitting tennis anytime soon.
Cilic delivered 33 aces to get to the final four at the French Open for the first time, edging No. 7 seed Andrey Rublev 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (10-2) on Wednesday in a 4-hour, 10-minute test of strength and will.
“The fifth set was an incredible battle,” said Cilic who is in his first Slam semi-final in four years. “Andrey played so well. Today was my day. He just didn’t have the luck.”
Women’s Singles
Daria Kasatkina vs Veronika Kudermetova
Daria Kasatkina beat fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-4 7-6(5) at the French Open on Wednesday to reach her first ever Grand Slam semi-final.
Kudermetova, playing in front of a scarce crowd, peppered the vast Philippe Chatrier stands with the ball and ultimately paid the price for a scrappy performance with 50 unforced errors – double that of Kasatkina.
Iga Swiatek vs Jessica Pegula
World number one Iga Swiatek shook off some early nerves to extend her winning series to a staggering 33 as she beat American Jessica Pegula 6-3 6-2 to book her spot in the French Open semi-finals on Wednesday.
Swiatek, who turned 21 on Tuesday, is on the longest unbeaten run in the women’s tour since Serena Williams bagged 34 victories in succession in 2013.
The Polish player, gunning for a second title in three years at Roland Garros, appeared a tad shaky in the initial games before marching past the 11th seed to set up a meeting with Russian Daria Kasatkina for a place in Saturday’s final.
