Number two seed Alexander Zverev is into the quarter-finals eight of a Grand Slam for the first time. The German won yet another five-set marathon and will face Dominic Thiem for a place in the final four. Alexander Zverev prevailed in his third consecutive five-set match at the French Open as he defeated Karen Khachanov 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 on Sunday to reach his first quarter-final at a major. Zverev called for treatment on a foot injury after he fought to force a fifth and the world number three rallied on to win in three hours and 29 minutes. Zverev'a reward is a clash with seventh seed Dominic Thiem in the last eight, who picked up the first two sets in under an hour before resisting a fightback from Japan's Kei Nishikori in a 6-2, 6-0, 5-7, 6-4 victory. "I'm very happy about being in the quarter-finals here," Zverev said. "Going the hard way, going the long distance every single time and showing myself, showing everybody, that I can play for as long as I need to." "First two sets were amazing," Thiem said. "That's the way I should play, how I played in the first two sets. I'm happy with all of my game. There is no point where I would say that it's not working." Austrian Thiem will compete in his third straight French Open quarter-final against Zverev, who beat him in straight sets to win the Madrid Open last month, but both are expecting their Roland Garros clash to go the distance. "I'm expecting another five-set match," Zverev said. "I will do everything I can to recover, as I said after the last match. I will make sure to be ready in two days time."
