Alexander Zverev needs to start beating big players to be ranked in the same bracket as Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and, indeed, Novak Djokovic, as he feels he should. For all of Djokovic's extraordinary achievements, he's 38 years old and was on an eight-month barren run up until last week. The onus is very much on the big-serving German.

Djokovic has had the upper hand in their previous meetings. The Serb leads their head-to-head by 8-5, and even with a torn hamstring he took Zverev to a first-set tiebreaker at Australian Open earlier this year, before finally seeing sense and retiring.
No.3 seed Zverev has reached the final of three different grand slams but lost them all. There's no question, however, that the French Open is the 28-year-old's favorite major. He'd reached the last four three years in a row before getting to last year's final, and he's dropped only one set at Roland Garros this time out.
Djokovic, inevitably, has gone one better, posting straight-sets wins all the way. That record-setting 25th grand slam title has eluded him for nearly two years and, at the quarter-finals stage, there's no way he's bowing out without a fight. The winner will face Sinner, who took Alexander Bublik apart in less than two hours, on Friday.
