Tennis, Tsitsipas beats Zverev and is in the final in Monte Carlo

The princely encore is just a step away. Stefanos Tsitsipas clearly beat Sascha Zverev in the second semifinal of the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo. The most anticipated match ended rather quickly in favor of the Greek who won 6-4 6-2. He was the number 5 in the world to have recovered best from the long three-set battle on Friday night against Diego Schwartzman, while the German, who had suffered problems in his right adductor during the 3 hours and 10 minutes match with Sinner, seemed rather off center.

In the first set Zverev suffered a break immediately then was able to recover from 5-2 to 5-4 but Stefanos again took away the serve and the set. Second partial on the shot for the Greek assisted by the whole family in the box, the father coach Apostolos, the mother Julia and the tennis brothers Petros, Pavlos and Elisavet. Tsitsi breaks in the sixth game and the advantage is maintained until the end.
