Alexander Zverev produced a masterclass in power and precision to storm into the Cincinnati Open semifinals, dismantling American hopeful Ben Shelton 6–2, 6–2.
Zverev, the No. 3 seed, imposed himself right from the start with aggressive baseline hitting and rock-solid serving. Shelton, cheered loudly by the home crowd, struggled to find rhythm against Zverev’s consistency and depth of shot. The German broke early in both sets, keeping Shelton on the defensive and never allowing him to settle into his explosive left-handed game.
In just over an hour, Zverev sealed the victory with clinical efficiency, showing why he remains one of the most dangerous hard-court players on the ATP Tour. The win puts him into the semifinals, where he will face World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in what promises to be a blockbuster clash.
Final Score: Alexander Zverev def. Ben Shelton 6–2, 6–2.
