For the last three years Alexander Zverev has reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros but has never progressed to the final. The German will now have the chance to end this run after demonstrating his undoubted quality with a comfortable straight-set victory over 11th seed Alex De Minaur. The 28-year-old has already claimed a title on clay this year, triumphing in the Italian Open, and has impressed thus far in Paris with wins over Rafa Nadal and Holger Rune.

However, the Norwegian triumphed in the most high-profile meeting when he secured a thumping three-set win in the French Open semi-finals. The three-time major finalist is back in the last four and is enjoying an excellent 2024, having already won titles on clay in Barcelona and Geneva.
Can Zverev gain revenge and reach a first French Open final or will clay-court specialist make a third straight final in Paris? Tune in to find out so read on to discover how to get a Ruud vs Zverev live stream and watch the 2024 French Open from wherever you are.
