Zverev Storms Into Third Straight Australian Open Semifinal

World No. 3 Alexander Zverev advanced to his third consecutive Australian Open semifinal after ending American youngster Learner Tien’s impressive run at Rod Laver Arena. Zverev won 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1, 7-6(3), relying heavily on his serve with 24 aces and saving all three break points.

The German will next face either Carlos Alcaraz or Alex de Minaur. Despite Tien’s resilience and strong baseline play, Zverev’s ability to earn free points on serve proved decisive, underlining his return to top form in Melbourne.
