Day 13 of the 2022 French Open promises some enthralling action, with the men's singles finalists set to be decided on Friday.
Record 13-time winner Rafael Nadal is the only former champion left in the draw in Paris, while 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic is the only other Major winner remaining.
Third seed Alexander Zverev and eighth seed Casper Ruud complete the semifinal line-up.
Nadal will of course command the lion's share of attention. Having edged his nemesis Novak Djokovic in a grueling four-set quarterfinal on Tuesday night, the Spaniard will be eager to continue his winning run at his most successful Slam.
Standing between him and a 14th appearance in the final in the French capital is reigning Olympic champion Zverev. The German doused the challenge of the in-form Carlos Alcaraz in four sets in their last-eight showdown and will be keen to continue the momentum against Nadal.
Cilic, meanwhile, is one win away from joining the quartet of Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Djokovic and Nadal as the fifth active men's player to reach the final of all four Majors. Apart from his US Open triumph, the Croat finished as the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2017 and the Australian Open in 2018.
He faces the 23-year-old Casper Ruud in a battle of generations. The Norwegian has won seven of his eight career titles on clay and could prove to be a tough nut to crack when the two square off.
