French open sf

French Open SF: After losing to Novak Djokovic in the French Open semifinal, last year's finalist Alexander Zverev reflected on defeat to three-time Roland Garros champion and called the Serbian great an "underrated player".

The 24-time major champion Djokovic, who has suffered consecutive opening-round defeats to start the clay-court swing, has rediscovered his best form at the perfect time in his quest for a record 25th major trophy.

The sixth seed Serbian did not arrive in Paris as the leading favourite, but delivered a tactically astute display to prevail 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 and reach a record-extending 51st Grand Slam semi-final.
