Zverev passes Van de Zandschulp test to reach US Open semis
- On Wednesday, top seed Alexander Zverev defeated Botic van de Zandschulp 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, advancing to the US Open semifinals. The German star remains on course for his second Grand Slam title.
- With 23 Grand Slam match wins this year, Zverev surpassed Boris Becker's German men's record of 22 from 1989. This milestone follows his maiden Grand Slam victory at the French Open in June.
- Despite an erratic start marked by five double faults, Zverev absorbed pressure from van de Zandschulp to control the match. He eventually fired an overhead smash to break early in the third set.
- Zverev will face unseeded Russian Karen Khachanov in the semifinals on Friday. This matchup serves as a rematch of their gold medal showdown at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
- Reflecting on his journey, Zverev noted "I think you saw in the first two rounds, I really didn't play well." The 2020 runner-up expressed satisfaction with his performance in New York.
