And it was an exciting match. It was 5 hard-fought sets. Both played at their limit and although Zverev had more playing time in the previous matches, Sinner had more problems with his body and fitness. For Zverev it is a great success to reach the quarter finals of a Grand Slam tournament again. There he will play against Alcaraz, who has had much less playing time so far and will therefore be more fitter.
Damn, this was a great match. It was going back and forth between these two. And if I am honest I have to definitely say that I kind of did not expect this outcome from this match. I thought that Sinner was going to be the winner of this match. He did try really hard to get the win as well. But in the end, I have to say Zverev was the one who really performed better in that match.
But the next match is going to be a lot harder. He is going to face Alcaraz in the next match. I don't think he will be able to win that match, to be honest.
Great match indeed, the final scoreboard looks like it was a very even match but looking
at the stats after the match shows Sinners service game wasnt as good as Zverev's,
54% first serve for Sinner, thats not going to win matches at this level.
Alcaraz is clear favourite for the next match 1.21 v 4.4
snip
Frances Tiafoe vs Ben Shelton, an interesting match and very likely to be a long match of up to five sets, Shelton used his fast serve to get a lot of points, but Tiafoe managed to come back after the first set and in the third set he had the opportunity to take it so he would lead 2-1
Well done to Shelton, he beat Tiafoe in 4 sets and books a spot in the Semi Finals against
Djokovic, tough ask for him to progress to the final.
