Alexander Zverev on Wednesday eased into the US Open semi-finals with a 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 victory over Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp. "Definitely happy to be in the semi-finals here, but of course I want to go further," Zverev said after the match.
Alexander Zverev advanced to the US Open semi-finals with a convincing 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 win over Botic van de Zandschulp on Wednesday. The German tennis star expressed his satisfaction at reaching the semi-finals, while also hinting at his ambition to advance further. Despite facing some pressure in the second set, Zverev managed to regain control and secure a dominating victory.
This win marked his 23rd Grand Slam title of the season, surpassing Boris Becker's previous record of 22 for a German player. The 29-year-old accomplished his third consecutive straight-sets win, reaching the semi-finals for the third time since 2020. Zverev, the top seed, will now face Russia's Karen Khachanov in the semi-finals, where he is expected to be the favorite.
This marks Zverev's first time reaching at least the semi-finals at all four Grand Slam tournaments, a first in his career. The other semi-final will pit US players Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton against each other.
