Good afternoon and welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage of day 11 of the French Open at Roland Garros.
World number one Novak Djokovic came back from the brink against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Tuesday, eventually securing his spot in the last four with a three-sets-to-two win.
Roger Federer also booked his spot in the last four with a spirited victory over the Argentine Juan Martin del Potro.
On the women's side of the draw, Sam Stosur and Sara Errani both secured their spot in the final four of the tournament.
Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray are both in action in the men's side of the draw this afternoon. Meanwhile, women's favourite Maria Sharapova also takes to the court.
Note that play gets underway at 1pm.
19.54Right, that's about it from Sports Mole today. You could argue that it fell short of the drama of Tuesday, but there was still some stellar tennis on display today. Tomorrow is the small matter of the women's semi-finals so we'll be bringing you live text commentary of Samantha Stosur's clash with Sara Errani and Maria Sharapova's encounter with Petra Kvitova. Please make sure to join us from 1pm. Thanks again for joining us, enjoy your evening. Au revoir!
19.48While we're at it, a big shout should go to 17-year-old Kyle Edmund from Hull who defeated second seed Gianluigi Quinzi in three sets earlier today to reach the fourth round of the boys' singles tournament.
19.46One thing which littered Murray's play today was the unforced errors. His judgement on a lot of shots was poor. That takes his record against Ferrer on clay to 0-4.
19.42And there it is. Murray's forehand goes wide which means that Ferrer has reached the semi-finals of the French Open for the first time in his career. That was a typically dogged display from the Spaniard. Murray was certainly below par, but Ferrer was just too good. His reward for the victory is a meeting with fellow countryman Rafael Nadal in the last four.
19.40RESULT: Ferrer 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-2 Murray
19.38Ferrer wastes one by finding the net.
19.38But he's crumbling! Ferrer has two match points!
19.36One thing for sure is that the Roland Garros crowd want him to stay here. They're chanting his name loudly out there.
19.34And Ferrer has the game. Murray can only put his laboured shot into the net. He'll now serve to stay in the French Open.
19.34The Spaniard now has the advantage thanks to another fierce forehand. He had Murray falling all over the place there.
19.32Deary me. Ferrer double faults and we're back to deuce.
19.30So close! Murray flashes a forehand across court but it goes the wrong side of the brackets. Deuce.
19.29And now he has a break point.
19.29The Scot is in with a chance here. Ferrer goes long and it's 30-30...
19.27Murray holds. He demonstrated some wonderful shots in that game but is it all too little, too late?
19.24The relentless Spaniard somehow gets it back to deuce on the Murray serve.
19.20Ferrer now takes a 4-1 lead after Murray hits wide. He's pulled some sensational comebacks out of the bag in the past, but the Scot needs some kind of miracle out here now. Ferrer is playing like the Terminator.
19.18That is superb. A long rally is ended when Murray drops a beautiful sliced forehand over the net. Great stuff from the fourth seed.
19.16Ferrer breaks! Yet again Murray lashes his shot long and the Spaniard goes 3-1 up. It looks like a long way back for the Scot.
19.15This is looking ominous for Murray now. A forehand goes wide and Ferrer has a break point.
19.12That was a gruelling game for both players there, but Ferrer eventually holds with an ace to go 2-1 ahead in the fourth.
19.09...But Ferrer saves with an ace.
19.09Murray moves to break point...
19.08It's now advantage Ferrer following another long forehand from Murray.
19.07Some glorious play there. The two men joust at the net, but Ferrer comes out on top with a deft volley. 40-30.
19.04How frustrating for Murray. His forehand goes marginally wide and Ferrer has the break. He'll be angry with himself for not consolidating the previous break. 1-1.
19.02It's careless again from Murray. He finds the net with a forehand to make it 30-30 on his serve.
19.00That's more like it from Murray! A powerful backhand down the line gives him break point before he wins it when Ferrer's backhand hits the net. That was some rally, and what a start to the fourth for the Scot.
18.56Murray is in desperate need of some inspiration from somewhere. He's starting to look beaten out there and there is now way that Ferrer will be taking his foot off the gas anytime soon. The Spaniard will get us underway in the fourth.
18.55SET! That was careless from Murray. He hits a routine forehand ridiculously long to give Ferrer the set. It's now 2-1 to the world number six.
18.54The Scot looks ruffled. He goes long and Ferrer has another set point.
18.52But Murray saves it with a powerful forehand which flies past the Spaniard.
18.51In contrast, Ferrer seems positively possessed. He's certainly got his eyes on the prize as he gets a set point.
18.50Murray looks to be losing it a little here. A tame shot goes into the net and it's 30-30.
18.47It's looking like an uphill task for Murray now. Ferrer holds serve thanks to a disguised forehand. The Scot is now serving to stay in the set.
18.44But Ferrer gets the break. Murray should have done a lot better with a smash, but he puts it right back at his opponent. Murray then puts a limp volley into the net to make it 4-3 to Ferrer.
18.43Murray saves one thanks to Ferrer's wide backhand.
18.42And Ferrer now has three break points! Incredible stuff.
18.41The world number four is struggling to capitalise on the break as he hits long to make it 0-30.
18.40Game on! Murray breaks with a bludgeoned forehand into the corner. He had Ferrer on the ropes there and was able to finish him off.
18.38Murray earns the first point on Ferrer's serve with a ruthless forehand wide of his opponent. Ferrer then whacks the ball high and wide to make it 0-30.
18.37That's a determined effort from Murray. Ferrer does his best to get down with his backhand, but he can only find the net. Murray holds to make it 3-2.
18.35But Murray gets it to deuce with a precise forehand right into the corner.
18.34And now Ferrer has another break point courtesy of a perfectly-weighted sliced backhand.
18.34Wow. Murray simply stopped play there having judged Ferrer's shot to have been long. The umpire comes over to back up the Brit. It's 30-30.
18.32The Spaniard holds following another misjudged backhand from Murray. It's now 3-1 to Ferrer in the third.
18.30The Brit is berating himself once more as he fires long to put Ferrer 30-0 up.
18.28And Ferrer has the break. Murray is angry with himself after he slams a backhand into the net. How telling could that error be? 2-1 to the sixth seed.
18.27Now Ferrer has the break point!
18.26Wow. Ferrer has Murray running about all over the place before he cuts short the rally. Back to deuce.
18.24Murray had the advantage, but a forehand into the corner puts us at deuce. You get the feeling that the whole third set hinges on this game...
18.21Ferrer isn't giving this one up easily. We're back to deuce again following a ferocious forehand from the Spaniard.
18.19Murray had a chance to hold there but an ugly forehand goes wide and takes us to deuce.
18.17Ferrer raises his eyebrows in surprise as he puts a backhand wide. 30-15 Murray.
18.16The Spaniard seems totally unaffected by the break in play as he holds after Murray puts his forehand long.
18.12With one set to each player's name, Murray held serve to take the lead in the third before the rain hit. Ferrer will now get us underway...
18.09Here comes Murray and Ferrer. Play to resume now.
18.08Nice bright sunshine in Paris now, that's more like it...
18.03Right, where were we? I've been informed that the covers will be coming off soon, so hopefully we can get back to what was a fantastic contest between Murray and Ferrer.
17.58Play is still suspended for the moment. That's me for this evening. I will hand you over to my wonderful colleague Jack Prescott for the remainder of the action. Stay with us!
17.55Remember, the winner of Ferrer vs. Murray will face Nadal in the semi-final on Friday.
17.52It seems that this one could be a lengthy delay. Let's hope it eases off.
17.49You just get the feeling that Murray will go on and win this match from here. If the rain ever stops...
17.46The rain is getting quite heavy now. Play is suspended once more. Hopefully it's just temporary.
17.44Such an important hold for Murray as he moves 1-0 ahead in the third set. However, it is still so finely balanced.
17.42So here we go then. We enter the third set between Ferrer and Murray at one-set-all.
17.40So we know the name of another of our semi-finalists. A certain Mr. Nadal. The Spaniard held off a spirited Almagro to secure a spot in the final four.
17.38SET! Murray takes the second set 7-6 to level it at one-set-all.
17.36However, some recovery from Ferrer as he cuts the score to 3-5.
17.34Murray jumps onto the Ferrer second serve to release a forehand winner onto the line. The Scot leads 4-1.

16.48More from Tim Henman's former coach David Felgate: "It's even more of a challenge now for Murray with this break in the match. He's got to suffer the pain of having just lost his serve."
16.48Or maybe not? We are back underway. 15-0 on the Ferrer serve.
16.48It is understood that the players will wait for five minutes while the rain clears.
16.46Almagro vs. Nadal has also been interrupted by the rain.

15.33Ferrer is only 5ft 9in tall. But there is a hell of a lot of fight in the Spaniard.

14.52Meanwhile, Kvitova holds serve to move 4-3 behind Shvedova in the third set.
14.50It hasn't been the fearsome start that some expected from Nadal. He trails 0-15 on serve.

14.49Bright start from Almagro as he plays himself into a 30-0 lead in the opening game.
14.49Meanwhile, Shvedova leads Kvitova 4-2 in the third.
14.49Here we go then. Almagro vs. Nadal. Spain vs. Spain.
14.49More from Federer on his semi-final opponent Djokovic: "I've had some great matches with Novak, we move each other around a lot, we both try to take advantage of the baseline. It's important to stay calm and stick to the gameplan. Last year Novak had that winning streak, this year, with him chasing all four Slams, it's even bigger. Hopefully I can spoil the party."
14.47Nadal has a a 49-1 win-loss record at the French Open. Over to you Almagro.
14.45Meanwhile, Shvedova has broken Kvitova to lead 3-2 on serve in the third.
14.45A word from Federer on Nadal: "I don't see anyone in his half of the draw stopping him from getting to the final. Murray is in great shape though, it's incredible how the top four always find a way to the semi-finals."
14.43However, Ferrer has never reached the final four of the French Open.
14.41Looking ahead to Murray's clash with Ferrer. The Scot has yet to beat Ferrer on clay in three previous attempts.
14.39The two players have just been introduced to the crowd in Paris. No prizes for guessing who got the biggest cheer. Meanwhile, Shvedova has levelled it at 2-2 in the third with Kvitova.
14.36We have Almagro vs. Nadal to come next on Court Philippe Chatrier.
14.34It seems that I may have written off Shvedova too early. The qualifier has broken back in the third set.
14.32More from Sharapova: "I'm happy to be back in the semi-finals, the third time I've made it this far. I really hope that the win can come this year. My preparation has been really good, it was nice to win two tournaments coming in. I'm happy with the way I've improved, but it only gets tougher from here. What girl doesn't like Paris?"
14.29However, it does appear that she will face Kvitova. The Czech is 2-0 up in the third set.
14.26Sharapova will face the winner of Shvedova vs. Kvitova. The pair are tied at one-set-all.
14.24A word from Sharapova following her win. She told reporters: "I am quite happy to be back in the semi-final... I love coming back here."
14.24So there we have it. Sharapova books her spot in the last four with victory over Kanepi. It's not a match that will live long in the memory. However, at this stage, the win is all that matters.
14.22RESULT: Sharapova 6-2 6-3 Kanepi
14.22Meanwhile, Sharapova has match point...

14.12Remember, we still have two men's quarter-finals to play today. Almagro vs. Nadal, and Ferrer vs. Murray.
14.09Three games in a row for Sharapova as she breaks to lead 3-2 in the second. Meanwhile, suddenly it's all Kvitova as she breaks Shvedova once more to move 4-1 ahead.
14.06Sharapova just cannot force her way into the lead as the Russian hits the net. We sit at 30-30 on the Kanepi serve.
14.04Sharapova also secures a hold of serve to level it at 2-2 in the second set. The Russian is clearly targeting Kanepi's backhand.
14.02It's a quick hold of serve for Kvitova as she moves 2-1 ahead of Shvedova in the second set.
14.00Kvitova has broken back against Shvedova early in the second. The pair remain level at 1-1.
13.58It's four points in a row for Sharapova as she breaks back to trail 2-1 in the second set.
13.56Meanwhile, Shvedova is up a break early in the second against Kvitova. What an incredible story that would be.
13.54It's not a great spell for Sharapova as she hits the net to hand Kanepi the lead on serve.
13.54Sharapova double-faults to hand Kanepi a 2-0 lead in the second set. Can the Estonian take this to a third?
13.52SET! Amazing scenes as Shvedova takes the opening set 6-3 against Kvitova.
13.50Kanepi does indeed hold her opening service game to move 1-0 ahead.
13.50Meanwhile, Kvitova holds serve against Shvedova. However, the latter will now serve for the first set.
13.48You just get the feeling that Kanepi needs some sort of inspiration in this match. The gap between the two has been evident thus far.
13.46Here we go then. Kanepi to serve first in the second set.
13.46Meanwhile, Shvedova holds serve to move 5-2 ahead of Kvitova in the opening set.
13.44SET! This time she takes it. The Russian secures the opening set 6-2.

13.35Meanwhile, Kvitova has broken back against Shvedova. The Czech trails 2-3 in the opening set.

13.30Meanwhile, Kvitova staves off two break-points to move 3-1 behind Shvedova.
13.30Not great from Sharapova as she plays a poor volley straight onto the racket of her Estonian opponent. The Russian leads 30-15 on serve.
13.27This holding serve malarky seems to be catching on. Kanepi holds to love. 3-2 Sharapova.
13.25Meanwhile, Shvedova leads Kvitova 3-0 in the first set. What a start from the qualifier.
13.25We have our first hold of serve as Sharapova moves 3-1 ahead with a volley.
13.23In Sharapova's last match against Klara Zakopalova, there were 21 breaks of serve in 30 service games. Could we be heading for a similiar match?
13.20And she does. We begin with three breaks of serve as Sharapova leads 2-1.
13.20Chance for Sharapova to break once more as Kanepi can only fire long. I can sense a trend appearing.
13.17Meanwhile, Shvedova has broken Kvitova early on to take a 2-0 lead.
13.17As predicted, Kanepi breaks back to level it at 1-1 in the opening set.
13.15Shvedova holds her opening service game to lead Kvitova 1-0.
13.150-30 as Sharapova fires long. Are we heading for another match of break after break?
13.13Sharapova makes the perfect start as she breaks to move 1-0 ahead. Meanwhile, Shvedova and Kvitova is also underway.
13.13One ace and two double-faults in the opening service game from Kanepi thus far.
13.10Here we go then. Kanepi vs. Sharapova.
13.07Meanwhile, we will be focusing our attention on the match between Kanepi and Sharapova. Let's hope the rain stays away.
13.04What about the women? Can Shvedova overcome the current Wimbledon champion Kvitova?
13.01Meanwhile, Almagro has lost his last five matches with Nadal. Not great reading for the former ahead of their encounter.
12.58We could potentially have men's semi-final clashes of Federer vs. Djokovic, and Nadal vs. Murray. Wow.
12.55If we have half as much controversy and excitement as we had yesterday, then we are in for some treat on day 11!
12.52First up this afternoon we have the two women's matches between Kanepi and Sharapova, and Shvedova and Kvitova.
12.49In truth, it was much more straight-forward in the women's round of fixtures with Stosur and Errani both advancing with two-sets-to-nil victories.
12.46Federer was also asked to dig deep against his Argentine opponent. Del Potro secured the first two sets of the match, but his persistent knee injury troubled him as the match developed. Federer had experience to draw on, having recovered from this position six times before and he eventually secured the match.
12.43Looking back to yesterday's matches, and it could have ended oh so different for Djokovic. Tsonga carved out four match points against the world number one, but he simply could not finish the job. The Frenchman showed such belief to take a two-sets-to-one lead in the match. However, when the world number one secured the fourth, there was only ever going to be one winner.
12.40On the women's side of the draw, Stosur and Errani have already booked their invite to the party. They will be joined by the winners of today's two clashes.
12.37We already know the first men's clash of the semi-finals - with Djokovic taking on Federer. Meanwhile, the winner of today's two games will complete the final four.
12.34Following that, David Ferrer will clash with Murray in arguably the men's tie of the day's play.
12.31Meanwhile, Yaroslava Shvedova and Petra Kvitova will open up the afternoon's play on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
12.28A certain Mr. Nadal will then entertain Nicolas Almagro in the final match on that particular court.
12.25We've got four fantastic matches to bring you on day 11. Kaia Kanepi and Maria Sharapova will open up proceedings on Court Philippe Chartier.
