PARIS, June 6 -- Two of men's singles quarterfinals had to be postponed until Thursday by rain, while Simona Halep and Garbine Muguruza set up their women's singles semifinal clash at the 2018 French Open on Wednesday.
Up against 10-time champion Rafael Nadal, Diego Schwartzman built on his momentum following a thrilling five-set victory over No. 6 seed Kevin Anderson to take away the opening set 6-4.
The Argentine's solid baseline and powerful forehand posed great threat to the "King of Clay", and he took an upper hand of 3-2 in the second set.
The match was spoiled by rain midway through the second set, before Nadal won three games in a row back on court to lead 5-3.
The match was interrupted again, when Nadal led 30-15 in the ninth game.
The duel between No. 3 seed Marin Cilic and fifth-seeded Juan Martin Del Potro was also postponed, when the two players tied at five-all in a tiebreak of the first set.
Top seed Halep, in chase of her maiden Grand Slam title, came back from one set down to see off Germany's Angelique Kerber 6-7 (2), 6-3, 6-2.
Kerber, who had already matched her best record in Paris with quarterfinal appearance, heated up quicker with four straight games in hand.
Although Halep forced a tiebreak, she let the first set slip away after losing the tiebreak 7-2.
Halep then regrouped herself to triumph in the second set 6-3.
Kerber called for a medical treatment due to foot blister three games into the third set, before she conceded a break, and never appeared to threaten Halep's position.
