Video tennis Tsitsipas – Zverev: Powerful tactics, “king” returns to the final (Monte Carlo Semifinals)
(Tennis video – Tennis results, Stefanos Tsitsipas – Alexander Zverev, Monte Carlo semi-final) Zverev has a physical advantage but has never beaten Tsitsipas on clay.
Tsitsipas has just experienced a very tight match against Diego Schwartzman in the quarterfinals and is expected to have difficulty in fitness. However, the Greek player has won Zverev in both previous meetings on clay, including the classic match at Roland Garros 2021.
Tsitsipas shows outstanding class against Zverev
And the fact that Tsitsipas was not affected at all in terms of endurance and concentration after the stressful match. He hit the ball with precision into two corners to keep pressure on Zverev and successfully broke the game twice, but the German opponent had very good groundstrokes to successfully reclaim both break points. However, in game 10 Tsitsipas had a very diverse scoring game to win the decisive break in set 1.
Contrary to the first set, Tsitsipas into the second set almost did not give Zverev a chance to breathe. He repeatedly neutralized the opponent’s 1st serves and used many small misses to force Zverev to move in succession. He won 2 breaks in this set and won easily 6-2 to fix the match after 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Tsitsipas is just one win away from successfully defending his title, and his opponent in the final will be Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who defeated Grigor Dimitrov after 3 sets in the remaining semi-finals.
