Late in the evening of Sunday, August 18, the participants of the semifinal of the Masters will go to the central court of the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Cincinnati – 23-year-old Italian Jannik Sinner, who has the status of the first racket of the world, and 27-year-old German Alexander Zverev, who occupies the 4th position in the APR ranking. According to bookmakers, Sinner is the favorite in this confrontation. You can bet on Yannick’s victory with odds of 1.52, while Zverev’s success is estimated at 2.65.
But in personal meetings, Sasha remains a confident leader. The tennis players had five meetings, and the last four ended in favor of Zverev. One could even say that the German is an inconvenient opponent for Yannick. In a one-on-one meeting, Sinner was able to win only in his first match, which took place in 2020 at Roland Garros. Then, in the 1/8 finals, the Italian celebrated success in four sets – 6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 6:3.
The next four battles between tennis players ended in victories for Zverev. Interestingly, Sasha defeated Yannick twice at the US Open in the 1/8 finals. This is where their last duel took place in 2023. The German defeated Sinner in five sets in 4 hours and 41 minutes – 6:4, 3:6, 6:2, 4:6, 6:3.
At the current Cincinnati Masters, both tennis players are not yet demonstrating their best qualities. This was clearly visible in the past fights between Sinner and Zverev at the tournament. Nevertheless, they reached the semifinals. Let us recall that in the quarter-finals the Italian defeated our Andrei Rublev in three sets (4:6, 7:5, 6:4), and the German proved stronger than the American Ben Shelton in a very tense match – 3:6, 7:6, 7:5.
