The German Alexander Zverev, 26 years old and world No. 5, quickly followed his access to the semifinals of the Miami Masters 1000 ATP. Confident in his serve, which he kept clean throughout the match, he eliminated the Hungarian Fabian Marozsan, 24 years old and number 57, 6-3 and 7-5 in 1h.38′.
The German has some problems, and he solves them without worrying. Two break balls against them, both resolved from a strong serve without flinching. His nerves remained in check when, at 2-2 and serving in the second set, the chair umpire penalized him with a warning for time delay.
Sasha Zverev He flirted with anger, emphasizing that he was waiting for a gust of wind to pass, the other star of the day. He protested later in the break between games, but did not lose in the semifinals.
He followed in the Russian footsteps Daniel Medvedev and the Italian Jannik Sinner, current champion and finalist, who will meet again this Friday at the Miami headquarters. It remains for the plenary session at 4, the four favorites, the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, which will close the quarterfinal round this Thursday, in the morning of Espanyol on Friday. From 00:00 hours, against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
Zverev He has since exacted his revenge, though without the bees that intervened in their rivalry last week in the Indian Wells quarterfinals, which Alcaraz defeated 6-3, 6-1. A swarm invaded the field, suspending the fight until a specialist beekeeper dealt with the insects.
His history is a continuous tug-of-war, as in both seasons the German won, 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2) and 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
Zverev opened the door to the tenth confrontation (led head to head 5-4) with Alcaraz, in the semifinals this Friday in Miami.
This will be the third semifinal of the campaign for the German, who is in this round at the Australian Open and in Los Cabos. His best result in Miami, the 2018 final.
