Sinner and Zverev in the semi-finals: fight for a place in the final!

Things are getting exciting in Vienna today! The ATP Erste Bank Open captivates tennis fans, especially with the semi-final matches, which are a lot to talk about. Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are fighting for a place in the final and many are looking forward to the matches.

Jannik Sinner faces Alex de Minaur in the semi-finals, and the conditions could hardly be better. Sinner has not only won the last duel against the Australian in eleven encounters so far, but has also extended an impressive winning streak in the hall of 20 matches. His path to the semi-finals was clear and convincing: with 6:4, 6:4 he prevailed against the Kazakh player Alexander Bublik, who was seeded number 8. Sinner has thus increased his record in Vienna to 7-0 and is striving full of enthusiasm to regain the top position in the world rankings from Carlos Alcaraz after he last lost to Novak Djokovic at the 2023 ATP Finals.

Zverev moves into the semi-finals without a fight

The situation for Alexander Zverev, however, is somewhat different. He moves into the semi-finals without a fight because his opponent, Tallon Griekspoor, had to withdraw due to back problems. However, this is not the first challenge for Zverev this season, which is already marked by injury concerns and a tight tournament calendar. After a busy program, Zverev nevertheless qualified for the ATP Finals. Now he will meet Lorenzo Musetti in the semi-finals, who has not yet dropped a set in this tournament and is in top form after his clear win over Corentin Moutet (6:3, 6:4). Musetti has a positive record of 3-1 in previous encounters against Zverev.

The path of the semi-finalists

Today's event promises not only exciting games, but also an exciting atmosphere. Jannik Sinner was full of positivity about the atmosphere of the tournament and acknowledged the talented opponent Bublik. The Erste Bank Open is endowed with 2.74 million euros and attracts not only national but also international tennis stars.

The first semi-final game, Sinner against de Minaur, does not start until 3:00 p.m. The subsequent duel between Musetti and Zverev also promises a lot of excitement. The spectators can look forward to great rallies and the question of whether Sinner can continue his impressive series and who will fight for the title in the final.

There were surprises, especially in the doubles competition, as the defending champions Miedler and Erler failed in the quarter-finals. Miedler was still able to celebrate success with Francisco Cabral, while Erler was eliminated with Robert Galloway. Miedler was positive about his performance and hopes to be able to play in the town hall again.

Today the Wiener Stadthalle will once again be the venue for high-class tennis, and the players are ready to give it their all. Who will win over the minds of the city? The games definitely promise a lot of action!
