French Open semi-finals: Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman aim to shock Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal

Stefanos Tsitsipas will attempt to strike another blow for the next generation when he plays world number one Novak Djokovic in Friday's French Open semi-finals at Roland Garros.

The Greek, 22, would be the youngest man to reach a Grand Slam final in 11 years if he makes Sunday's showpiece.

Argentine Diego Schwartzman, 28, faces 12-time champion Rafael Nadal in the first semi-final at 13:50 BST.

Victory would make Schwartzman only the third man to beat Nadal at the event.

Nadal lost to Sweden's Robin Soderling and Serb Djokovic in 2009 and 2015 respectively, and withdrew prior to his third-round match in 2016 with a wrist injury.
