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.

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Molly Caudery and Georgia Hunter Bell both won world indoor titles in Torun in March By Mike Peter BBC Sport journalist Published 11 minutes ago World indoor champions Molly Caudery and Georgia Hunter Bell triumphed in the pole vault and 1500m at the Diamond League meeting in Rome. Hunter Bell, who took a first world title in Torun in March , broke away from the leading pack to win in three minutes 58.63 seconds at the Stadio Olimpico. Two-time world indoor champion Caudery sealed the pole vault title with a jump of 4.80m. In a meeting packed with British interest, Keely Hodgkinson, who also triumphed indoors in Poland, finished in seventh in a rare outing in the 400m. The 24-year-old was unable to challenge in the unfamiliar distance, finishing in 51.14 seconds, while compatriot Amber Anning finished in fifth in 50.19. In the women's 200m, Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith took fourth and fifth respectively with times of 22.52 and 22.76 seconds, in a race won by Olympic champion Julien Alfred from world title-holder Melissa Jefferson-Wooden. Meanwhile, Olympic champion Noah Lyles surged to victory in the men's 100m in 9.88 seconds, placing ahead of Cameroon's Emmanuel Eseme and Botswana's Letsile Tebogo, while Great Britain's Jeremiah Azu was ninth in 10.12. The Diamond League returns on Sunday in Stockholm, with live coverage on BBC Two and the BBC Sport website and app from 16:00 BST.

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Mirra Andreeva is the youngest women's singles Grand Slam finalist since Coco Gauff at the French Open in 2022 By Harry Poole BBC Sport journalist Published 16 minutes ago Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva reached her first Grand Slam final with a dominant victory over Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk at the French Open. A beaten semi-finalist in 2024, Andreeva was hugely impressive throughout her 6-1 6-3 victory and will await compatriot Diana Shnaider, the 25th seed, or Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska in Saturday's final. The 19-year-old is the fourth-youngest woman to reach the Roland Garros showpiece in the past 30 years, after Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters and Coco Gauff. Should she prevail, Andreeva would become the third-youngest first-time Grand Slam champion this century, after Maria Sharapova and Emma Raducanu. Russia's invasion of Ukraine provided an unavoidable backdrop to the contest, with Kostyuk regularly denouncing the war since it began in February 2022 - and being highly critical of athletes from Russia who have failed to do so. In keeping with the stance taken by Ukrainian players over the past four years, Kostyuk did not pose for a pre-match photo with Andreeva, and the players did not shake hands afterwards.
