Dominic Thiem came from a set down to beat John Isner and reach the semi-finals of the Madrid Open on Friday.
The Austrian could face 13-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal in the last four after recovering against Isner to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Nadal plays fifth seed Alexander Zverev in his quarter-final later on Friday.
A showdown between Thiem and Nadal would be a repeat of the 2018 and 2019 French Open finals, both of which were won by Nadal.
