Paris, June 11

Stefanos Tsitsipas went from way ahead to suddenly stuck in a five-set struggle against Alexander Zverev at the French Open today before emerging to earn his first berth in a Grand Slam final.

Tsitsipas entered with an 0-3 record in Major semifinals and it seemed as if he might let this one slip away, too, until a late surge carried him to the 6-3 6-3 4-6 4-6 6-3 win after more than three and a half hours. — AP
