PARIS: Alexander Zverev would be overjoyed to finally win a maiden Grand Slam title but just as happy to see rising Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas also claim a first major.
Zverev, on the other hand, has made it through to a second successive quarter-final in Paris and will face world number one Novak Djokovic on Wednesday.However, he has yet to get past the last-eight at a Slam while Tsitsipas raced to the semi-finals at the Australian Open in January, beating Roger Federer on the way."He can be proud. He is a new superstar all of a sudden.
In contrast, Djokovic has yet to drop a set or even break sweat in reaching a record 10th successive French Open quarter-final.Zverev had endured a mediocre clay court season until the eve of Roland Garros when he clinched the Geneva title, playing on a last-minute wild card. While he struggled, Tsitsipas won the title in Estoril, was runner-up to Djokovic in Madrid and made the semi-finals in Rome where it took Rafael Nadal to halt him.He is involved in a legal battle with his former manager which has left him increasingly distracted.
