Unlike the first two quarterfinal matchups that delivered grueling five-set marathons, the remaining two matches concluded much faster. Alexander Zverev easily dismantled Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp, while Karen Khachanov secured his spot in the semifinals after Alexander Blockx retired midway through the third set.
Zverev Cruises Past Van de Zandschulp
The German player demonstrated peak form, sweeping Van de Zandschulp in straight sets 3-0 (6-2, 7-5, 6-1). The Dutchman, who had orchestrated epic comebacks in previous rounds, had no answers for Zverev’s serve and steady baseline game. Zverev held his serve throughout the entire match, saving both break points he faced, while routinely converting 6 of his 9 break point opportunities on the other end.
A Sad End to Blockx’s Historic Run
Young Belgian Alexander Blockx achieved the biggest success of his career by reaching a Grand Slam quarterfinal, but his dream was cut short by severe physical exhaustion. Karen Khachanov held a solid 2-0 lead in sets (6-2, 7-5) and was up a break in the third (3-2) when Blockx was forced to retire. The Belgian suffered from leg and rib pain, with the physical toll clearly visible since his exhausting round of 16 battle against Francisco Cerundolo.
