Zverev progresses temporarily to the eighth round
Zverev Advances to Semifinals in Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 Tournament
The ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati is serving as a warm-up for the US Open, which begins on August 24. In the quarterfinals, Alexander Zverev faced an old acquaintance, Brandon Nakashima, but the match was suspended on Tuesday due to a thunderstorm. The match resumed on Wednesday, and Zverev emerged victorious with a quick 6-4, 6-4 win.
The stadium was evacuated during the suspension due to lightning, but play resumed without incident. Zverev held his serve despite being down 0-30 in the final match of the quarterfinals.
Zverev's next opponent in the quarterfinals was Karen Khachanov, but the match was suspended on Tuesday at 6-4, 5:4 in Zverev's favor. The quarterfinals of the tournament are taking place on Wednesday.
Khachanov beat Zverev in the semifinals of the Canadian Open last week, so this match serves as a potential opportunity for revenge for Zverev. The Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 tournament is a significant event in the lead-up to the US Open, and a prestigious tournament in the tennis calendar.
Zverev is a participant in the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati. The match between Zverev and Khachanov is scheduled for 11:00 PM CET. The Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 tournament is part of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 series.
The US Open is the next major tennis tournament after the Cincinnati ATP Masters 1000 tournament. In the semifinals, Zverev faced Carlos Alcaraz, but he did not proceed further after losing to Alcaraz. The tournament continues with the semifinals and finals, with the winner earning a coveted spot in the US Open.
