Stefanos Tsitsipas reaches his third consecutive semi-final after he defeated Daniil Medvedev in the French Open quarterfinal.
The Greek sensation is now on a 9-matches winning streak after he won the previous tournament in Lyon. Following his recent win, Tsitsipas goes one place up in the ranking to be the new world number 4 after overtaking Dominic Thiem. Stefanos may be the new world number 3 even he wins the Roland Garros, and Nadal does not win his next match.
Tsitsipas may lose his world number 4 position if Sascha Zverev defeats him in the final 4 in Paris. In that case, Zverev will overtake both Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
