At the lavish tournament in Indian Wells Masters there was a premiere on Saturday night. The event, which has been held since 1990, is the first time that there is no top 25 player in the semi-finals.
Taylor Fritz, number 39 in the world rankings, made it possible for the outsiders to meet in the semifinals. In the last quarter-finals, he defeated the Olympic champion Alexander Zverev. The American won against the German 4: 6, 6: 3, 7: 6 (7: 3). Zverev led 5-2 in the third set and awarded two match balls, including one on his own serve.
The 23-year-old Taylor Fritz is also in a Masters 1000 semi-final for the first time, as is his next opponent Nikolos Basilaschwili from Georgen (ATP 36). The other semifinals will be contested by Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (ATP 28) and Briton Cameron Norrie (ATP 26).
