The day started with a practice at 10:30 as he accompanied it with a couple of words, saying: "Playing the semifinals here at Roland Garros means a lot to me. If I'm not playing good or if I'm losing in that semifinal match, it's not going to be because I'm not going to be focused."

At 12:00, he did a little gym session where he met also his semifinal opponent, Alexander Zverev. After that, he entered the court shortly before 3pm and unfortunately his opponent got injured at 18:09 and the Spaniard spoke also about that when he said: "You feel very sorry for the colleague."
