Zverev ends Jodar's French Open dreams as Kostyuk dedicates historic win to Ukraine

Alexander Zverev ended 19-year-old Rafael Jodar's French Open dreams at the quarter-final stage on Tuesday, beating the Spaniard 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 6-3.

The highest seed and clear favourite left in the draw following the shock exits of Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, as well as Carlos Alcaraz's injury, Zverev looked set to lose the opening set against Jodar after the Spaniard served for it at 5-3. However, the German rallied impressively, reeling off four of the next five games before sealing the set in a tie-break.
