Musetti Defeats Tiafoe, Advances to French Open Semis

Lorenzo Musetti defeated Frances Tiafoe in four sets to advance to his first French Open semifinal, marking his second career Grand Slam semifinal after Wimbledon last year. The match included controversy when Musetti kicked a ball that struck a line judge, resulting in only a warning and subsequent criticism from Tiafoe regarding inconsistent enforcement of rules. Musetti apologized, explaining the contact was accidental. Despite the loss, Tiafoe and Tommy Paul became the first American men since 1996 to reach the Roland Garros quarterfinals together, a notable milestone for U.S. men's tennis. Musetti will next face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who holds a strong head-to-head record against him. In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka set up a high-profile semifinal match.
