Alexander Zverev presented himself as an intrepid fighter following his contested three-set victory over Adrian Mannarino . It had to be "a broken leg" for him to give up, according to Zverev, who fell on his hand in the first sentence and suffered abrasions.
In the end it was 6: 4, 6: 7 (5: 7), 6: 4 for the man from Hamburg, who also "really noticed" the support in Cologne. And after his final victory at the first tournament in the cathedral city, he wants to reach for the double.
The problem here could be his semi-final opponent. Jannik Sinner is his name, and the Italian was the shooting star in 2019, with 46th place in the ATP ranking he is higher than ever. And for just 19 years, it also made me the youngest player in the top 50.
Sinner had recently reached the quarter-finals at the French Open in Paris and there managed the feat of causing even Rafael Nadal relatively great difficulties, especially the first set was highly competitive. Oh yes: On the way to the round of the last eight, Sinner had also defeated Zverev, it was 6: 3, 6: 3, 4: 6, 6: 3 in the end and was almost tighter than the match itself had shown. Sinner had dominated the game for the most part and led it very aggressively - it was questionable whether Zverev would and can continue his offensive efforts in the re-match in Cologne.
