Zverev storms into semi-finals despite late bedtime
Alexander Zverev storms into the US Open last four despite staying up until 3:30am to watch Ben Shelton and Carlos Alcaraz's blockbuster quarter-final.
Alexander Zverev advanced to the US Open semi-finals after a dominant 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 victory over Botic van de Zandschulp at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The top seed, who stayed up until 3:30am to watch Ben Shelton and Carlos Alcaraz's quarter-final, now faces Russian Karen Khachanov. Zverev has reached all four Grand Slam semi-finals in a season for the first time in his career.
Despite his recent slow start, he has been playing better throughout the tournament and is in form for a potential maiden major title at the French Open. Khachanov, who advanced after Alexander Blockx retired, is unseeded at a major for the first time since 2018.
