US Open: Alexander Zverev sets up Taylor Fritz rematch – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Alexander Zverev, the former runner-up, advanced to the US Open quarterfinals for the fourth time on Sunday, to set up his intense Wimbledon matchup with Taylor Fritz in New York.
Zverev, a fourth seed from Germany, won 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 against American Brandon Nakashima to achieve his 450th career victory, as per AFP.
Zverev, who lost to Dominic Thiem in the 2020 New York final after two sets, hit 51 winners and delivered 14 aces past Nakashima, who was ranked 50th, while only needing to face one break point.

Next up for Zverev is a matchup in the last eight against US 12th seed Fritz, who defeated him in their thrilling fourth round match at Wimbledon in July after trailing two sets to one.
Zverev said he finished the match “on one leg” despite suffering a knee injury in that encounter.
“Well, the difference now is that I’m healthy,” said Zverev on Sunday.
“That was an amazing match. I expect a tough battle – it always is when I face Taylor.”

Zverev fell against Carlos Alcaraz in five sets in this year’s French Open title match, as well as the 2020 US Open final.
“I’m doing everything I can, everything else is out of my power,” he said.
“I’m trying my best and hopefully it will be enough at some stage in my career.”
