Alexander Zverev continued his impressive run at the Miami Open by defeating Fabian Marozsan in straight sets to reach the semi-finals. Marozsan, ranked World No. 57, had previously defeated Holger Rune and Alex de Minaur in the tournament. Zverev, a German player, secured his place in the last four with a 6-3, 7-5 victory, not having dropped a set in the event so far. This is Zverev’s first appearance in the Miami Open semi-finals since 2018.

The match saw Zverev break Marozsan’s serve twice, taking advantage of the Hungarian player’s unforced errors. Despite signs of Marozsan growing into the game, Zverev was able to hold out and clinch the opening set. However, the German player showed signs of frustration, facing a shot-clock violation and displaying irritation towards the umpire during the match. The second set remained close with both players holding serve until Zverev secured his second break to win the set 7-5 and claim victory.

Zverev acknowledged Marozsan’s talent and performance, praising his opponent during his post-match interview. The German player credited Marozsan for playing a fantastic match and challenging him throughout the game. Looking ahead to the semi-finals, Zverev awaits the winner of the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Grigor Dimitrov, who are set to play later in the tournament. If Alcaraz advances, it will set up a rematch of their previous encounter at the Australian Open quarter-final earlier this year, where Zverev defeated Alcaraz in four sets.

The potential semi-final match between Zverev and Alcaraz holds significance following their previous meeting at the Australian Open, offering an opportunity for Alcaraz to seek redemption and for Zverev to maintain his strong form in the tournament. Zverev will be aiming to secure a spot in the Miami Open final and continue his quest for a title at the prestigious event. As the competition progresses, Zverev will remain focused on his performance and tactics against his opponents, showcasing his determination to succeed in the Miami Open. With the semi-finals approaching, Zverev’s success in the tournament highlights his skill and resilience on the court.
