Alexander Zverev was sensational in his match vs Casper Ruud booking a place in the semifinal where Stefanos Tsitsipas awaits.
For Zverev the continuation of good play in Cincinnati is a great development in his season as the German has looked for consistency on the tour. 2021 overall has been a good year for Zverev albeit results have not been very consistent. Sasha spoke about things won't get any easier especially against Stefanos:
"The matches are not going to get easier. I think Stef is somebody who is in incredible form right now and he’s looking forward to playing this match as well because we’re right in front of the US Open. We should be playing our best tennis, and I think it’s going to be entertaining for all of us."
Zverev feels like he has been playing some of his best tennis this season. THat level allowed him to win gold at the Olympics and he will look to add some more trophies to his cabinet in 2021. He admitted looking forward to the battle against Tsitsipas saying the better player will win:
"When you’re in the semi-finals of a Masters, you’re playing your best tennis. I just feel like when I’m playing at my best, I can compete and beat anybody. But I think Stef feels the same way. The better player will win tomorrow and I’m looking forward to that."
