What an idea from Alexander Zverev! The German number one gave Rafael Nadal no chance in the semifinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy and won 6: 4 and 7: 5. This means that Zverev can play for his fourth title at 1000 level on Sunday - opponent will be the Russian Daniil Medvedev, who won against Milos Raonic 6: 4 and 7: 6 (4).
Zverev won the Masters events in Rome and Montreal in 2017, followed by victory in Madrid in 2018. Medvedev, in turn, won the winners trophies in Cincinnati and Shanghai in 2019. Exactly there he had little trouble with Zverev in the final.
Zverev wins against Nadal for the second time
In Paris-Bercy the cards are being reshuffled. Zverev took his twelfth win in a row - the fourth in the French capital, which was preceded by eight successes at the two tournaments in Cologne. Against Nadal, Zverev made an early break in both sets - and only got into trouble in the sixth game of the second round. The Spaniard could not use his two break chances. Zverev then missed four chances for the double break.
That should take revenge first. Because Nadal managed his first break in the eighth game of the second act. When the score was 5: 5 and 30:30, Zverev lifted a volley to the edge of the net, the ball plopped into the field on Nadal's side. Zverev gladly took the break chance, took the lead 6: 5 after a mistake by Nadal. And served confidently after 98 minutes of playing time.
For Zverevs it was the second victory in the seventh duel with Nadal. Germany's number one also won the most recent game to date: at the 2019 ATP final in London. In head-to-head with his final opponent Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev leads 5-1.

Grigor Dimitrov has delivered some sad news just before the Rolex Paris Masters 2020. The Bulgarian announced that he cannot play at the Paris Bercy. After playing well at the Vienna Open 2020, Dimitrov suffered a foot injury, which has forced him to withdraw from the upcoming tournament.
With this, the Rolex Paris Masters 2020 will now have four lucky losers instead of three. Earlier, Dominic Thiem, Cristian Garin, and Fernando Verdasco also withdrew from the tournament at the last moment. This has given the opportunity to four players, out of the seven, who played in the final round of qualification to take part in the tournament.
World No.2 Rafael Nadal occupies the top-seed as defending champion Novak Djokovic won’t be playing in the tournament. Interestingly, the 22-year-old Greek player Stefanos Tsitsipas is second-seeded. This will be the first time that he has occupied a second seed in an ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

Grigor Dimitrov in the year 2020
It has not been the year so far which Dimitrov would have expected. The Bulgarian player has got the desired start in many tournaments but was not able to perform in the big matches. It would not be wrong to say that he choked, maybe because of pressure, in the knock-out stages.
After getting eliminated from the Australian Open 2020 in the second round, he played well at the ATP Rotterdam managing to reach the pre-quarters. He defeated the 3-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka in the Mexican Open 2020 but lost to Rafa in the semis.
After tennis resumed, he did not have a great start as he could not proceed beyond the second round at the US Open 2020. At the Italian Open, the 29-year-old managed to reach the quarters but lost to Denis Shapovalov there. In the French Open 2020, he was playing well before facing Stefanos Tsitsipas in the fourth round. The Greek player defeated him in straight sets and denied him a spot in the quarters.
In the recently concluded Vienna Open 2020, he avenged his defeat against Tsistsipas by defeating him despite losing the first set. However, he lost to Dan Evans in a close contest and could not go beyond the quarters.

It has been the same story for Dimitrov. He managed to reach the quarters and semis and then failed to keep his calm. Fans certainly expect more from him. They hope that he would be able to play more tournaments before the 2020 season ends.
