We’re down to four men remaining in that draw at the 2019 French Open. Novak Djokovic put away Alexander Zverev in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2, 6-2, on Thursday to advance to face Dominic Thiem, who dispatched Karen Khachanov with even greater ease, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. Zverev out-aced Djokovic 10-1 but had eight double faults to Djokovic’s four and converted only 47 service points, to 60 for Djokovic. Thiem broke down Khachanov, winning five break points to Khachanov’s zero and at one point winning five games in a row. In the other side of the bracket, Roger Federer defeated 24th-seeded Stan Wawrinka in four sets, 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, and Rafael Nadal cruised over Kei Nishikori, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3. Federer and Wawrinka each only won two break points and were even with 20 service games won. Wawrinka had some issues with serving accuracy, double-faulting seven times, but he also delivered eight aces and almost upset his Swiss compatriot. Nadal won 76 percent of his first serve points and delivered seven breaks, shutting down Nishikori. So now we have the top four seeds set for Friday’s semifinals.
