Germany's second seed, Zverev

Zverev's next opponent will be the winner of the last eight match between Djokovic and Alcaraz, and when Zverev was asked after the game if he would expect this matchup, he laughed: "It's definitely a boring matchup, especially when you see Zverev and Paul, there is no reason to stay and watch this matchup." ”

Paul started the tournament strongly, but he couldn't withstand the pressure at the critical moment, wasting the first set when he led 6:5 and lost in the tie-break, and also wasted the opportunity at 5:2 in the second set, and collapsed in the tie-break, while Zverev performed a better game, although he lost the third set, but the fourth set immediately stabilized and broke the opponent's two service games, and successfully accepted the men's singles semi-finals.

It was Zverev's 30th win at the Australian Open, surpassing Beck as the most German male player at the Australian Open, and it was also the second year in a row that he had reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
