The 33-year-old Čilič eliminated another Russian tennis player after Daniil Medvedev, and in the fight for his fourth grand slam final in his career, the 33-year-old Croatian will face Casper Ruud from Norway. He defeated Dan Holger Rune 6: 1, 4: 6, 7: 6, 6: 3 in the Scandinavian duel and will play the semifinal semifinals for the first time in his life.

The 23rd player in the world, Čilič, recorded 33 aces and 88 winning balls against Rubljov, as well as 71 unforced errors. A tie-break was decided by a tie-break in the fifth set, where Čilič dominated with a ratio of 10: 2. He thus became the fourth Croat in history to make it to the semi-finals at Roland Garros in the so-called Open Era.

Twenty-three-year-old Ruud became the first Norwegian in history to become the last semifinalist. The eighth player in the world beat Rune four years younger in the fourth match, but lost the set against him for the first time. “It’s a big day for Norwegian tennis. I’ll use my free day to prepare. You dream exactly about these matches,” Ruud said in a post-match interview on the court.
