Highlights of the ninth day at the French Open on Monday (times GMT): 1207 ZVEREV THROUGH AFTER GRIEKSPOOR RETIRES

Last year's runner-up Alexander Zverev, seeded third, reached his seventh French Open quarter-finals in eight years after his Dutch opponent Tallon Griekspoor retired midway through the second set. The Dutchman was 6-4 3-0 down when he called for the medic and after a brief discussion the umpire announced his retirement.

1043 ANDREEVA OVERCOMES KASATKINA TO REACH LAST EIGHT Last year's semi-finalist Mirra Andreeva beat Australian Daria Kasatkina 6-3 7-5. The Russian teenager recovered from 5-3 down in the second set to win four straight games and close out the match.
