French Open semifinals Live: Menšík will face favorite Zverev before the all-Italian semifinals
Jakub Menšík may not start as a favorite, but the Czech teenager has already shown that he can trouble the best on the big stage. Zverev, meanwhile, will have to deal with the pressure of expectations not only in this semifinal, but also as one of the top favorites for the title after the early exits of several top seeds. The pair have only met once so far, at the Madrid Open in April this year, where Zverev cruised through a tight three-set battle 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-3.
