Davidovich, Dimitrov, Zverev and Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo semifinal | Tennis

“I enjoy every point I play here,” said the Spaniard after his victory over Fritz, who won the masters in Indian Wells last month. “It gives you a lot of confidence when you beat the number 1 in the world. It has made me stronger physically, mentally and technically. I challenge myself to get better and better every match.”

The 22-year-old Spaniard already reached the quarterfinals in Monte Carlo last year and also reached the last eight at Roland Garros. Now he is in the last four for the first time in a masters tournament.

Tsitsipas and Zverev continue with difficulty

Stefanos Tsitsipás has also qualified for the semifinals of the masters tournament in Monte Carlo. The Greek, who won the tournament in 2021, won in the quarterfinals in three sets against Argentina Diego Sebastian Schwartzman. It became 6-2, 6-7 (3) and 6-4 for the Greek.

In the third set, the number five in the world came back strongly from a 0-4 deficit. As a result, he remains in the race to defend his title in Monte Carlo for the time being.

Tsitsipás will face Alexander Zverev, the German number three in the world, in the semifinals. The German number three in the world also had a hard time. He defeated the Italian Jannik Sinner in three sets. It was 5-7, 6-3 and 7-6 (5) for Zverev, who eventually turned an early deficit into a win.

Dimitrov advances to semi-finals

Grigor Dimitrov has qualified for the semifinals of the masters tournament in Monte Carlo at the expense of the Pole Hubert Hurkacz. The Bulgarian number 29 in the world trumped the Pole in three sets. It became 6-4, 3-6 and 7-6 (2) for Dimitrov after about two hours and 30 minutes of play.
