If Nadal goes on to win French Open 2022, he would own the first two legs of a calendar-year Grand Slam for the first time. Nadal’s French Open record is 110-3 (two of the defeats came against Djokovic, in 2015 and a year ago) and he is into his 15th semifinal here.
Nadal’s opponent, Zverev, was the runner-up at the 2020 US Open and a gold medallist at the Tokyo Olympics. The 25-year-old, who is under investigation by the ATP after being accused of abuse by a former girlfriend, is playing in the Roland Garros semifinals for the second consecutive year.

The other semifinal includes Marn Cilic and Casper Ruud who are making their semifinal debuts in Paris. For Ruud, it’s his first appearance in the final four at any major. For Cilic, it completes a set of at least one semifinal at each major.
