Alexander Zverev was fulfilling his role as the favorite in his semifinal match at the 2024 ATP Rolex Paris Masters, although he had to push himself harder in the final stretch of the match, a moment when Holger Rune started to make a comeback. The Dane's good moment was not enough to challenge Sascha's high level, who finished the task in the tiebreak to secure the victory with a score of 6-3 and 7-6(4) in 1 hour and 47 minutes. His opponent in the final will come from the clash between Khachanov and Humbert.

With the stands filled with fans, the German and the Dane were playing at full speed, following the rhythm set by the court. Alexander had the advantage on his side, remaining strong on his serve against a Holger who was willing to take risks on the return. Moving from volley to volley at the net, Zverev claimed the first set of the semifinal match in 46 minutes, with Rune consulting his box occasionally to try to improve on court.

The German's sliced backhand regained control of the points, with an opponent unable to respond to the power or prolong the rallies. No strategy worked for Rune, who was starting to get frustrated, displaying his dissatisfaction with his coach, who could do little from the sidelines.

Rune doesn't give up, Zverev holds firm

With the occasional shout, Zverev continued doing his thing from the other side of the net, super solid and cornering his opponent at every opportunity. Just when it seemed over, Holger rose from his ashes to cling to the fight, winning over the crowd. Inspiration shone through the Dane's racket, showing more creativity in securing points. Though releasing his backhand freely, Sascha didn't back down.
