What an idea from Alexander Zverev! The German number one gave Rafael Nadal no chance in the semifinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy and won 6: 4 and 7: 5. This means that Zverev can play for his fourth title at 1000 level on Sunday - opponent will be the Russian Daniil Medvedev, who won against Milos Raonic 6: 4 and 7: 6 (4).

Zverev won the Masters events in Rome and Montreal in 2017, followed by victory in Madrid in 2018. Medvedev, in turn, won the winners trophies in Cincinnati and Shanghai in 2019. Exactly there he had little trouble with Zverev in the final.

Zverev wins against Nadal for the second time

In Paris-Bercy the cards are being reshuffled. Zverev took his twelfth win in a row - the fourth in the French capital, which was preceded by eight successes at the two tournaments in Cologne. Against Nadal, Zverev made an early break in both sets - and only got into trouble in the sixth game of the second round. The Spaniard could not use his two break chances. Zverev then missed four chances for the double break.

That should take revenge first. Because Nadal managed his first break in the eighth game of the second act. When the score was 5: 5 and 30:30, Zverev lifted a volley to the edge of the net, the ball plopped into the field on Nadal's side. Zverev gladly took the break chance, took the lead 6: 5 after a mistake by Nadal. And served confidently after 98 minutes of playing time.

For Zverevs it was the second victory in the seventh duel with Nadal. Germany's number one also won the most recent game to date: at the 2019 ATP final in London. In head-to-head with his final opponent Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev leads 5-1.

Fresh from the final under the roof of Vienna (and from the victory against Alexander Bublik) the Italian number three manages to collect only ten points in response. Not to hang on to the tie break during the second set. The final 6-4 7-5 is somewhat emblematic.
