Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev Upset in Los Cabos Semi-Finals

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev will not cross swords in the final in Los Cabos. Favorites in their semi-final, the two men stumbled during the night from Friday to Saturday in Mexico and will not be able – yet – to seek a first coronation in 2024.

The last semi-final saw Jordan Thompson overcome a dangerous but alternating current Zverev. At the end of a real thriller lasting almost 4 hours (3 hours 40 minutes), the Australian scored one of the greatest successes of his career in three sets (7-5, 4-6, 7-6). Worn out after the match, which ended after 1:00 a.m. there, he will have little time to recover before the final.

3h40 of fight, a Thompson on fire: how Zverev lost a crazy semi-final

First final since July 2023 for Ruud

Always as eye-catching, but often poorly rewarded for his efforts, the 29-year-old was mentally strong to overcome Zverev. At 6-5 in his favor in the last act, he missed 5 match points on Sascha’s serve. Disgusted, he started the decisive game by losing his service point. One lost point too many. People didn’t give much of their skin at that time. Except that, in the process, Zverev gave him his two commitments before completely exploding. On his 7th match point, Thompson won this improbable duel.

Just before, Casper Ruud dominated a still slightly narrow Stefanos Tsitsipas in two sets (6-4, 7-6), after 1h49 of combat. Missing out on his 2023 season, the Norwegian will play his first final since last July and the one lost in Bastad. In good shape since the start of this 2024 financial year, he will seek an 11th career title and an 11th… ATP 250.

Fonseca and Mensik, Djokovic’s children?
