Zverev* 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 1-2 Tsitsipas
One dip now from either player could mean game over.
Zverev's serve has been a huge factor in his recovery in this match, but an unforced error hands Tsitsipas 30-30.
It gets worse for the German, who sends it long and it's break point Tsitsipas.
What's on the line for Zverev?published at 17:08 British Summer Time 11 June 2021
Russell Fuller
BBC tennis correspondent at Roland GarrosZverev is yet to beat a Top 10 player at a Grand Slam.
He definitely needs to prove he can do it.
It would be a great start for him and it would be fantastic for him to be in a second Grand Slam of the last three

Tsitsipas the escape artist?published at 17:05 British Summer Time 11 June 2021
Russell Fuller
BBC tennis correspondent at Roland GarrosCan Tsitsipas complete the great escape.
He rattled off five points in a row and that will give his confidence a boost.
He was looking rather lethargic but that will give him a big lift.

Annabel Croft
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraI am just thinking about the organisers. Should they have started this match earlier - bearing in mind we could have 10 sets today.
We have a set, maybe an hour, then you have to clear the crowd out, get the new crowd in, and then they have to play another set in silence?
Postpublished at 16:55 British Summer Time 11 June 2021
No need to remind you what follows this match, I'm sure.
Don't go anywhere folks, we've got a fifth set to decide semi-final number one, before Djokovic and Nadal go toe-to-toe at Roland Garros.
What a day.

A sensational point! Zverev levels things up at 15-15 as he manages to control a drop shot at the net after a 27-shot exchange. Great stuff.

Well saved. Tsitsipas finds another gear when it matters, and holds with a crosscourt forehand to put the pressure back on Zverev.
