Diego Schwartzman reaches his first Grand Slam semi-final at Roland Garros

Argentinian player Diego Schwartzman qualified for the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career, defeating Austrian player Dominic Thiem, the third favorite, in a marathon match that lasted 5 hours and 8 minutes.

In his 300th professional match, the 28-year-old Schwartzman won an epic battle against one of the best clay court players. The match was evenly contested and both players had their chances.

The opponent for a spot in the final will be determined in the match between Spanish player Rafael Nadal, who is aiming to win his thirteenth French Open title and defeated Schwartzman in the recent Rome tournament, and 19-year-old Italian player Jannik Sinner. EFE
