Financial Zverev moves into the US Open quarters

NEW YORK, Sep 6 (Reuters) -Alexander Zverev eased past Jannik Sinner 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7) and into the US Open semi-finals on Monday as the fourth-placed German extends his victory by 15 matches.

Zverev enjoyed remembering the summer, but Zverev may have a hard time remembering the last time he lost a match after reaching a form that has taken him to Olympic gold in Tokyo, a Masters 1000 win in Cincinnati and the last eight in Flushing Meadows.

The last time Zverev suffered his loss in the fourth round of Wimbledon to Canadian Felix Auger-Aliasssim, he has not considered himself in danger at the US Open and advanced to the semifinals with a loss of one set.

“I’m happy where I am, I’m happy with the way things are, and I’m happy with the way things were in the last few months,” said Zverev, who sees improved service as one of the biggest reasons for his profit. tube.

“In Tokyo suddenly it (his pass) clicked because in Wimbledon I had a very bad pass match against Felix. That’s why I lost. Since Tokyo, it’s been a lot better, but it can still be a lot better.”

It was the second financial accomplishment against 13th-ranked Sinner when Zverev broke the Italian once in each round, blowing up 17 aces, two of them in the skill period to keep the fourth round of the competition on a wet day at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

In two installments, Sinner was unable to break the German defense and failed to convert a handful of resting places. He got his only break to equalize the third set in a 4-4 situation, but no longer made losses in Zverev’s game, losing the draw and the match.

“He served well,” Sinner said. “It’s not easy to play against him. (He) has self-confidence. You know when someone serves well – you can try the return game a little.

“I think he deserved a victory today.”
