Rafa Nadal will resume his rain-interrupted French Open quarterfinal against Argentine Diego Schwartzman on Thursday, with the defending champion trailing by a set.

Nadal, who lost the opening set 6-4, fought back to lead 5-3 in the second before rain forced the suspension of the match on Court Philippe Chatrier.

Marin Cilic and Juan Martin del Potro also resume their last-eight clash on Court Suzanne Lenglen, locked at 5-5 in the first set tiebreak.

World number one Simona Halep, chasing her first Grand Slam title, will take on 2016 champion Garbine Muguruza in the first women's semifinal.

Americans Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens square off in the other last-four match, a repeat of last year's U.S. Open final.
