Zverev, for the double in Cologne against Schwartzman

One week after winning his 12th career title in the first of two consecutive ATP 250 tournaments to be held this October in Cologne, Alexander Zverev will have a chance to double after beating the promising young Italian Jannik Sinner in the semifinals this Saturday by 7-6 (3) and 6-3.

The German, very serious and focused since he was trained by Spanish David Ferrer, did not get caught up in Sinner even though he started 4-1 against in the first set. Sascha came back and in the second set was superior. This Sunday (7:30 pm), Zverev will face Argentine Diego Schwartzman, who was able to beat Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (6-4, 5-7 and 6-4).

The Roland Garros semifinalist is still on a roll. After coming back from a duel he had practically lost against Alejandro Davidovich on Friday, with match point against, the Buenos Aires player did not fall apart when Auger-Aliassime resisted and added a break when Diego served 5-4 to win the match and lost three games in a row and, consequently, the second set. In the third, physical problems seemed to weigh on the 20-year-old Canadian, who still won spectacular points, and Schwartzman, with a break to go 5-3 and serve., raised a 15-40 and did not forgive as he had done in the second sleeve. He finished with a tremendous forehand winner. It will be Peque's tenth final, in search of his fourth ATP title.
