Zverev cruises past van de Zandschulp into US Open semis
Top seed and world No 2 Alexander Zverev stays on course for his second Grand Slam title with a 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 win.
Alexander Zverev, the 2020 US Open losing finalist, advanced to the semi-finals of the US Open on Wednesday with a dominant 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 victory over 70th-ranked Botic van de Zandschulp. The top-seeded Zverev, the reigning French Open champion, showcased his confidence and skill throughout the match, never facing any major challenges.
The German star will next face unseeded Russian Karen Khachanov in the semi-finals on Friday. Zverev took control of the first set, breaking van de Zandschulp twice to lead 2-0. In the second set, van de Zandschulp put up a brief resistance, reaching 5-4, but made a costly error on Zverev's serve, allowing him to break and extend his lead.
The final set was similarly one-sided, with Zverev holding serve to secure the set and the 2-0 lead that would see him through to the semi-finals.
