    French Open: Zverev Marches Into Quarter-finals After Griekspoor Retires Mid-match

    The World No: Alexander Zverev continued his dominant run at French Open 2025, reaching the quarter-finals for the seventh time in eight years after his fourth-round opponent Tallon Griekspoor was forced to retire midway through their clash on Monday.

    The World No. 3 led 6-4, 3-0 on Court Suzanne-Lenglen when Griekspoor, seemingly drained of energy, called for the physio and then decided to end the match after 54 minutes. The Dutchman had made a bright start, breaking Zverev early and racing to a 3-0 lead in the opening set, but his intensity faded rapidly as the German regained control.

    It marked the third meeting of the season between the two players, whose budding rivalry has produced thrilling battles throughout 2024. Griekspoor had claimed a landmark win over Zverev at Indian Wells earlier this year, saving five match points before clinching the biggest victory of his career in tense tiebreaks. Zverev responded by avenging the loss on home soil in Munich, edging another tight contest en route to lifting the title.
