US Open 2023: MS Dhoni spotted at Carlos Alcaraz vs Alexander Zverev's quarterfinal clash. Watch
A post shared by Kapil Dev (@therealkapildev) Speaking about Carlos Alcarez vs Alexander Zverev quarterfinal match, Alcaraz stormed into the semi-finals after winning a quarter-final battle 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 against the German player Zverev in New York on Thursday. The 20-year-old will now face 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals.
Alcarez also moved a step closer to becoming the first man to win consecutive titles at Flushing Meadows since Roger Federer collected five in a row from 2004-08. Alcaraz, who has already won six titles this year, advanced to a Tour-best 58-6 match record this season.
Zverev had a fantastic first serve night, putting 68 percent of his first serves into play and winning 73 percent of them, but he only won seven of 25 points on his second serve. The 12th-seeded Zverev said he felt something bothersome in his left hamstring area early in the second set.
And because of that, he explained, sprinting and pushing off properly to serve became problematic. “I didn’t give up," said Zverev as quoted by AP, who left the court for a medical timeout before the third set, “but there is very little you can do, in a way, against Carlos then."
