Rod Laver Arena: World No. 2 Alexander Zverev secured a thrilling 7-6(1), 7-6(0), 2-6, 6-1 victory over Tommy Paul on Tuesday for his third Australian Open semifinal.

The German saved a set-point in both of the first two sets and denied Paul’s attempts to serve them out on Rod Laver Arena. Despite a strong comeback from Paul in the third set, Zverev responded with a dominant fourth to seal the win.

This marks Zverev’s ninth Grand Slam semifinal appearance, where he will await the winner of the evening match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Both semifinals are scheduled for Friday, giving Zverev and his opponent two days to rest.
