With a clear victory, Alexander Zverev catapulted himself into the quarter -finals of the US Open. The 27-year-old tennis professional from Hamburg prevailed against the American Brandon Nakashima with a convincing result of 3: 6, 6: 1, 6: 2, 6: 2 and is now faced with the possibility of winning the coveted Grand Slam title that he has been working on for a long time

The start of the game was anything but easy for Zverev. With oppressive temperatures of 28 degrees Celsius and high humidity, he had difficulty establishing himself in the first set. Despite a promising start, he was quickly faced with a gap and ultimately had to hand over the sentence. But instead of losing the nerves, the turn came in the second set. Zverev found its way back to his form and increasingly dominated the game, which finally resulted in a clear victory. With this triumph, he not only celebrated the move into the quarter-finals, but also his 450th victory on the ATP tour.

From the first minute to dominance

In the fourth set, Zverev experienced a moment of terror when he cracked his right foot and limp for a short time. It seemed as if this could have a negative impact on his performance, but he showed great strength and was not put off. He converted his first match ball after 2:36 hours - a moment that testifies to his determination and focus to survive in difficult situations.

An important aspect of Zverev's game was above all the strong serve that he showed throughout the match. After initial difficulties, his service stabilized and he was able to effectively counter Nakashima's attacks with precise setbacks. Boris Becker, a legend of tennis, praised Zverev's strong performance after the first sentence: “I haven't seen what he celebrated in the third and fourth sentence for a long time. That was tennis at the highest level.”

competition with Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals

In the quarter-finals, Zverev now meets the US professional Taylor Fritz. This duel is particularly explosive because Fritz Zverev defeated in the round of 16 in Wimbledon this year after caught up with two sets. Of nine matches so far, the two players have won their victories, which indicates an exciting rivalry. "We play scarce matches, it can go in any direction," said Fritz about his rivalry with Zverev and emphasized the importance of the service for the outcome of her games.

The view of a possible title gain is of enormous importance for Zverev. He has already reached the rounds of the best eight at the US Open four times in a row and hopes to take the crucial step into the first Grand Slam title this time. The absence of big names such as Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, which have already been eliminated, makes his dream appear more tangible. According to the current results, Zverev could return to the top three in the world rankings, which could give his career a new boost.

whether Zverev will ultimately win the title in New York is uncertain, but his previous achievements and the irrepressible will to secure the crown are undeniable. The upcoming matches promise exciting duels and could be decisive about his previous career.
