This is a match that is considered balanced between two players who are considered the new generation of tennis. However, the Norwegian player is rated higher in the French Open semi-finals when Zverev has not been in good form recently after being injured. In the previous meetings, Zverev had 2 wins and 1 loss against Rudd.
Rudd eases into French Open final
However, in their meeting in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam tournament, Rudd showed his dominance over the former US Open runner-up. With an early break of Zverev's serve, the current French Open runner-up continuously led the German player before winning the first set with a score of 6/3.
In the second set, Rudd continued to play solidly on his serve and scored a goal when Zverev served to win another game with a score of 6/4. At this point, the German player was no longer himself and gave up in the next set, losing 0/6 to the disappointment of his fans.
Zverev disappoints fans
Speaking after his win over Zverev, French Open runner-up Rudd said: "I'm trying to go out there without pressure. From start to finish, everything went my way. Hopefully the third time can be the charm for me. It's going to be tough in the final. Novak is playing to be the greatest. He's playing for the 23rd time, and I'm playing for the first time."
Rudd reaches second consecutive French Open final
Rudd will face Djokovic in the final, who will be playing his seventh French Open final and 34th Grand Slam final. This will be Rudd's third Grand Slam final. Rudd lost to Nadal in last year's French Open, and the Norwegian is also in the final of the US Open.
