Jannik Sinner demonstrated why he is the incoming world No.1 with an emphatic 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3) triumph over Grigor Dimitrov on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Tuesday.
After this year's Roland-Garros, the No.2 seed will replace Novak Djokovic at the peak of the men's rankings following the Serbian's withdrawal with a knee injury.
Into a first semi-final in Paris, Sinner must await the result of the night session clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas to find out his opponent.
