Zverev Advances to Paris Masters Semifinals

Alexander Zverev triumphed over Stefanos Tsitsipas with a score of 7-5, 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters, marking his sixth victory against the Greek player in their 16 encounters. This win propels Zverev, the highest-ranked player remaining in the tournament, into the semi-finals where he will face either Holger Rune or Alex de Minaur. Zverev admitted to initially struggling but found his rhythm, capitalizing on crucial breaks in both sets. Tsitsipas's loss eliminates his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals, a tournament he previously won in 2019. The match featured a string of unforced errors from Tsitsipas, who committed 28 compared to Zverev's 18 winners. Zverev, aiming for his first Paris Masters title, has now recorded a total of 64 victories this year.
