Arriving in Rome, Zverev is hoping to get his form in place ahead of the French Open.
Germany's first brother, who had a bye in the first round, swept Vukic in the second round; Defeated two players ranked around 50 in the third and fourth rounds;
In the 1/4 finals against Fritz, Ziwei had an obvious advantage, easily winning in straight sets and coming to the semifinals of Rome for at least the fourth time in her career.
Ziwei Gui is a former champion of the tournament, and when masters such as Nadal, Deyo, Arca, Mei Zong and Sinner have been out of the tournament for various reasons, the German brother has become one of the favorites to win the championship.
However, the opponent in the semi-finals, this station is a little magical.
Chilean Tabilo came to Rome, defeated the world No. 1 Djokovic in the third round to become famous, and eliminated China's first brother Zhang Zhizhen in the quarterfinals, and entered the semifinals of the Masters for the first time in his career.
In the first set, Tabilo's high and low block made Ziwei miserable.
In the first two games, the two tested each other and held their own serves;
In the 4th game, Ziwei encountered difficulties in the service game, and failed to save after sending two break points, falling behind 1-3;
To add insult to injury in the sixth game, Tabilo struck again, repeatedly using small balls to make the No. 3 seed tired of running, and led 5-1 after the second break;
In the 7th game of the service game, Tabilo continued to "humiliate" Ziwei with a small ball, easily held serve, and won 5 games in a row to win the first set 6-1.
In the second set, Ziwei's state began to return, coupled with the decline of Tabilo's hand, the two played evenly matched, and after the first 12 games, they each held serve and entered the tie-break to determine the winner.
As soon as the tie-break came up, Ziwei sent a double fault, and Tabilo broke the belt to take a small 2-0 lead, but fortunately, the No. 3 seed woke up in time, and suppressed the opponent's backhand position at the bottom line, forcing Tabilo to make many active mistakes, and then came up 6-3 to make consecutive handicap points, and Ziwei did not squander in front of the opportunity, and equalized the score 7-4.
In the deciding set, Tabilo served first.
Losing the second set made Tabilo's mood drop, and he sent three consecutive break points in the third game, although he broke the first two, he still couldn't escape the fate of being broken;
In the fifth game, the service game was lost for the second time, and Tabilo was gone.
In the 8th game of the service game, Zverev did not let the suspense continue, and successfully held serve to have the last laugh 6-2.
In the end, after three sets of fierce battle, the No. 3 seed Zverev refused to be an upset, and after losing one set in the first set, he successfully blocked the biggest dark horse of the tournament, the German terminator Tabilo, from the final.
Zverev, who won the victory, advanced to the final of Rome for the third time and will challenge for the first title of the season, the second title of Rome, and the sixth title of the Masters.
