Entry into the semi-finals
Fearful opponent defeated! Zverev reaches the semi-finals
Alexander Zverev has defeated his fearsome opponent Tommy Paul to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open. The German thus remains on course for his first Grand Slam title.
After 3:28 hours, Zverev won in four sets 7:6 (1), 7:6 (0), 2:6, 6:1. It was the world number two's first win against the American.
"I should actually have been 2-0 down in the sets, because Tommy played better than me. Somehow I won the first set and the second as well. The fourth set was my best," explained Zverev in an on-court interview with Jim Courier.
However, a completely different caliber awaits in the semi-finals on Thursday: The winner of the thrilling duel between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz(from approx. 10.30 a.m. HERE in the sportkrone.at ticker) will then face Zverev.
Becker overtaken
With his 30th victory in total at the Australian Open, Zverev also overtook tennis icon Boris Becker in this statistic and is now the sole record holder among male German players.
