Alexander Zverev dominated Carlos Alcaraz this Friday at the Masters, precipitating the Spaniard’s elimination. The German advances to the semi-finals where he will face Taylor Fritz.
In sparkling form, Alexander Zverev confirmed his current good spirits this Friday in Turin during his third Masters match. Facing Carlos Alcaraz, who dominated him during their last duels, the German mastered his service games more to win in 1h59 with a score of 7-6(5), 6-4. Never broken despite two opportunities granted to his opponent, “Sascha” has still not lost a single set in this Masters. A feat maintained for eight matches during his victorious campaign at the Rolex Paris Masters.
Zverev in the semi against Fritz
In addition to his 9 aces, Alexander Zverev was also able to count on an excellent 79% of good first serves to overcome the Spaniard, who also made 34 unforced errors. This result naturally propels the German to the top of the John Newcombe group and also in the semi-finals where he will face the American Taylor Fritz. As for Carlos Alcaraz, defeated for the second time in three matches, his adventure in Turin is over. His qualification in the last four is simply impossible.
Andrey Rublev must win against the Norwegian Casper Ruud in the evening (from 8:30 p.m.) to block his path to second place, and therefore the last four. However, the Norwegian only needs seven games to secure the second seat in the John Newcombe group.
