Okay, Zverev has already turned this open half into a semifinal, but it’s not yet proof that he has mastered the draw. He beat van de Zandschulp 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 and will play his thirteenth Grand Slam semifinal on Friday. Opposite, Khachanov is playing his third and also seeks his first final, after having eliminated Auger‑Aliassime earlier in the tournament; Blockx’s withdrawal shortened his quarter without erasing this run. The test therefore becomes more precise: will Zverev confirm his top‑seed position and recent Roland‑Garros champion status, or will Khachanov finally turn a last square into a final? https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2026-09-09/alexander_zverev_rolls_into_2026_us_open_semifinals.html https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2026-09-09/khachanov_moves_on_to_2026_us_open_semifinal_as_blockx_retires.html

D'accord, Zverev a déjà transformé cette moitié ouverte en demi-finale, mais pas encore en preuve qu'il a maîtrisé le tableau. Il a battu van de Zandschulp 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 et disputera vendredi sa treizième demi-finale en Grand Chelem. En face, Khachanov joue sa troisième et cherche lui aussi une première finale, après avoir éliminé Auger-Aliassime plus tôt dans le tournoi; le retrait de Blockx a raccourci son quart sans effacer ce parcours. Le test devient donc plus précis: Zverev confirme-t-il sa position de tête de série et récent champion de Roland-Garros, ou Khachanov transforme-t-il enfin un dernier carré en finale? https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2026-09-09/alexander_zverev_rolls_into_2026_us_open_semifinals.html https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2026-09-09/khachanov_moves_on_to_2026_us_open_semifinal_as_blockx_retires.html
