The second seed is through to his fourth major final and his second at Roland Garros, having lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets in 2024. Taken to a fourth set for only the second time in the tournament, Zverev kept his composure to win 7-5 6-2 3-6 6-3 against first-time Grand Slam semi-finalist and 26th seed Mensik. Zverev, who has been the front-runner to lift the Coupe des Mousquetaires since world number one Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic suffered shock exits in the first week, will face either 10th seed Flavio Cobolli or Matteo Arnaldi in Sunday's final. Should he win, the 29-year-old will be the seventh oldest first-time Grand Slam men's singles champion in the Open era and the first German man to win a major since Michael Stich won Wimbledon in 1991.

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet delights young film fan with surprise call 3 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Elaine Mitchell South west reporter, BBC News NI Getty Images Kate Winslet has delighted a young film fan with a surprise call Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has delighted a young film fan with a surprise call after hearing her story of having to travel 140-miles to find an accessible cinema. Fourteen-year-old Eryn, who has been blind since birth, made the three-hour round-trip for a screening of The Magic Faraway Tree, a film adapted from Enid Blyton's book series. Eryn said the journey was necessary because the cinema was the only one her family could find offering audio description (AD) headsets. Winslet, who voiced the audiobooks of The Magic Faraway Tree series, told the teenager she was "absolutely staggered" she had to travel so far. NEAL STREET PRODUCTIONS Eryn was joined by Dame Pippa, Kate Winslet and Simon Farnaby Eryn From Brookeborough in County Fermanagh, previously told BBC News NI she doesn't visit the cinema often, as the nearby IMC in Enniskillen does not offer AD headsets. Eryn has loved the Magical Faraway Tree book series for years and was excited to experience the film adaptation. The nearest suitable cinema involved a 140-mile round trip. BBC News NI made several attempts to contact IMC Cinemas but it did not respond. Winslet read Eryn's story and shared it with the film's producer Dame Pippa Harris and screenwriter Simon Farnaby. They arranged a video call with Eryn in which Dame Pippa told her they hope to "create a bit of momentum and make sure that cinemas everywhere have got AD versions of all the movies so that everyone can see them and enjoy them". 'I recognised Kate's voice' The Oscar-winning actress entertained Eryn with stories about her life During the call, Eryn was introduced to a surprise guest - Winslet - and was almost left speechless. "I recognised her voice from the outset but it was just such a shock," she said. Winslet voiced the audiobooks, which Eryn said she had listened to many times. The actress said she was "thrilled" to speak to Eryn and "absolutely staggered" at the fact she had to travel so far to see the film. "We want to be able to support you as much as we can in doing that. So hopefully we can be a part of that and helping you make that change," Winslet told her. "I think anything that makes these experiences inclusive as possible, that's why we all make films." Calls for more audio description services Eryn also had a chance to speak to the film's producer Dame Pippa Harris And Winslet's humorous stories about her home life left Eryn surprised at how down to earth the Oscar winner is. "I thought she would be in a mansion or something" she said laughing. After the call Eryn shed tears of joy and hopes the support from the Hollywood star will help raise awareness of the need for audio description to be available in cinemas. "Obviously, Kate Winslet is very famous
