- Alexander Zverev (GER / ATP 7) defeats Borna Coric (CRO / ATP 32) in the US Open quarterfinals with 1: 6, 7: 6 (7: 5), 7: 6 (7: 1), 6 : 3.
- In the semifinals, the German will face Pablo Carreño Busta (ESP / ATP 27), Denis Shapovalov (CAN / ATP 17) 3: 6, 7: 6 (7: 5), 7: 6 (7: 4), 0: 6, 6: 3 defeated.
Alexander Zverev may still be the man to benefit the most from Novak Djokovic’s disqualification. The 23-year-old German, who has seen a great future for years, reached a Grand Slam semi-final in New York for the second time after this year’s Australian Open.
The seventh in the world ranking and 2018 Masters champion benefited in his victory 1: 6, 7: 6, 7: 6, 6: 3, especially from the waning strength of Croatian Borna Coric, who was number 27.
Coric pays tribute to round of 16 fight
Zverev had started miserably, but was able to improve, but the level of play was not too high. In his first big quarter-final, Coric made (too many) mistakes. Above all, he, who had fought Stefanos Tsitsipas for more than four and a half hours in the third round and had to defend himself against six match points, also lost his body after the clearly lost tiebreaker of the third set with high humidity.
Carreño Busta next rival
Now Zverev is beckoning to Pablo Carreño Busta (ATP 27), a direct beneficiary of Djokovic’s disqualification, the great opportunity for the first final.
The Spanish prevailed against Denis Shapovalov (ATP 17) in 5 sets with 3: 6, 7: 6 (7: 5), 7: 6 (7: 4), 0: 6, 6: 3. The game was marked by Shapovalov’s ups and downs, especially in sets 2 and 3. Special: The Canadian made 8 breaks in this match. That was 3 more than his opponent, and he still lost the game.
