Zverev advanced to the semi-finals of the Miami Open for the first time since 2018, securing a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan.
The Olympic champion showcased his strong serving skills and capitalized on four out of seven break points against the 57th-ranked Marozsan. Marozsan had previously defeated top-10 players Holger Rune and Alex de Minaur to reach the quarter-finals.
“I’m happy to be back in these late stages of these tournaments, playing the best players in the world, I think there are only those left,” said Zverev, 26.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
Italian second seed Jannik Sinner and Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev secured spots in the Miami Open semi-finals on Wednesday, setting up a rematch of their recent Australian Open final.
Zverev, aiming for his first Grand Slam title, was defeated by Medvedev in the Melbourne semi-finals. Despite this, Zverev has consistently showcased his talent, reaching his 17th Masters 1,000 semi-final by defeating Marozsan.
In terms of Masters semi-finals appearances, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray are the only active players who have more appearances than Zverev, further highlighting his status as one of the ATP Tour’s top players.
