Alexander Zverev will face Jannik Sinner in the Madrid Open final, aiming to break a six-match losing streak against him. The match is set for Sunday.
Zverev reached the final by defeating Alexander Blockx with a score of 6-2, 7-5. This victory marks his fourth appearance in the Madrid Open final.
Zverev has won this tournament twice, in 2018 and 2021. He has accrued a total of 30 victories at the Madrid Open throughout his career.
Currently, Zverev holds the title of a seven-time Masters 1000 champion. However, he has lost his last four encounters against Sinner at these prestigious events.
Sinner is on an impressive run, having won 22 consecutive matches leading up to this final. If he wins, he will become the first player to claim five consecutive Masters 1000 titles.
Zverev expressed his feelings ahead of the match: “I am very happy to be in the final.” He acknowledged Sinner’s current form, stating, “I think tennis is very easy for him right now, the way he is playing.”
As both players prepare for this crucial match, questions linger about whether Zverev can finally overcome Sinner after their previous encounters.
