While waiting for the Carlos Alcaraz attraction, on the night of Thursday to Friday, against Grigor Dimitrov, we can say that the big names are doing the job at the Masters 1000 in Miami. Seeded number 4, Alexander Zverev joined the seeds number 2 (Jannik Sinner) and 3 (Daniil Medvedev) in the semi-finals on Thursday, dominating Fabian Marozsan (57th player in the world) on a central effort swept away by gusts of wind.
The German won 6-3, 7-5, in 1h37, emphasizing his solidity in the exchange (only ten unforced errors), the quality of his service (74% of first serves, 80% of points won on his first serve) and his ability to withstand pressure (two break points erased out of two).

Since Roland-Garros 2023, Alexander Zverev has won 24 of his 26 matches against a player outside the top 50.
Faced with a player capable of flashes but far too erratic (23 unforced errors in two sets), Zverev played it safe. An intelligent adaptation to the wet and windy conditions of the game. He thus reaches his 17th semi-final in Masters 1000, his second in Miami (after 2018) and his first since Cincinnati 2023. He will face the winner of the Alcaraz-Dimitrov match for a place in the final.
Marozsan will console himself by ranking 38th in the ATP rankings on Monday. His first induction into the top 50.
