ZVEREV: YOUNG GUNS ARE GOING FOR IT NOW

ALEXANDER ZVEREV claims the next generation are close to a takeover at the pinnacle of tennis.

The German No.2 seed (above) beat Karen Khachanov 4-6 7-6 2-6 6-3 6-3 to become the youngest man to reach the French Open quarterfinals since 2009.

And Zverev, 21, said: “Us young players are all improving quickly.

“We are all trying to challenge the top guys and doing everything we can to stop Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal dominating.”
