Hello Friends,

Who would have thought the sports will be back on track this much early when the Pandemic Corona is still making sound all around the World?
Well, yes, Sports is getting back to normal with tournaments like French Open, IPL and many Football tournaments restarted with or without the crowd watching from the stadiums.
Right now, it's French Open Tennis tournament going on in Roland Garros and we are already into the semi-final stage of men's and women's singles matches.
Let's review the 8 matches we have on hands with 2 of the 4 women's semifinals scheduled later today.
Men's Singles Semifinals:
Match 1: Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Alexander Zverev:

So, it's left up to 4 players and 2 matches to decide this year's French Open Singles Champion and these 2 young players will be raring to go when they play each other tomorrow in First semifinal.
It will number 5 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas versus number 6 Alexander Zverev.
These guys have played 7 matches against each other before this and Tsitsipas holds the edge with 5 wins.
Interestingly, it will be their First meeting in a grand slam event and no doubt both are fighters, but they will have some nervousness.
It will take some effort for Alexander Zverev to improve his 2020 US Open runner up status as he will have Tsitsipas first and then he has to face one of the two legends in Rafa or Djoker if he moves into final to win his first majors.
As for Tsitsipas, he is much improved player and this highest ranked Greek player and youngest player on ATP top 10 rankings right now will be the one to watch out for future.
Tsitsipas has already reached his Fourth semifinal in grand slams and he will be keen to improve that by reaching the final.
Match 2: Rafael Nadal versus Novak Djokovic:

Well, what to say about these 2 legends? They are great ambassadors for the sports and they will be facing each other for the 58th time in all the ATP tours!!!!
While King of Clay Rafael Nadal will be the favorite when the match starts tomorrow, but Djoker will also fancy his chances and he is the one who has beaten Rafa at French Open Quarterfinal in 2015.
Out of 58 meetings so far, Djokovic leads Rafa by 29-28, a slender lead and will that be equal when the match is over tomorrow?
Let's hope the best player on the day wins the match tomorrow.
But, being a Rafa fan, I want him to win tomorrow and go onto win his Fourteenth French Open title.
It's a great sporting rivalry between Rafa and Djoker and even they know that and for them it's just another match and hope even we take it in that sportive manner.
Women's Singles Semifinals:
Match 1 - Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Tamara Zidanšek:

Both exciting matches at the semi finals of the men singles division. They are both must watch.
Would love to see Djokovic and Tsitsipas in the finals. However hope the better candidate makes it there
Yeah, both matches will be good ones.
2 young guys fighting it to move to final and face one of the legends.
I am sure it won't be an easy match for both Rafa and Djoker.
Let the better player win :)
Yeah. The future of the sport. Would be nice to see them phase them legends out. Maybe not yet but quite sooner
Never easy with this two. It will surely be a tough clash and a fight for supremacy.
Valid points, Tsitsipas has taken the initial advantage, I am just getting ready for the second match :)
Yeah. 2 sets already won. Zverev trying force a win in the 3rd set
