Alexander Zverev will play in the Erste Bank Open semifinal against Carlos Alcaraz and he would like to avoid complicating things as he did in the previous two rounds.
Alexander Zverev has played some amazing tennis this week but he also lost focus a couple of times forcing him to play several additional sets of tennis that could have been avoided. That was the case against Felix Auger-Aliassime who made it interesting after snatching the 2nd set from Zverev and forcing a 3rd. The German lamented the fact after the match:
“I did make it difficult for myself once again, that needs to stop happening. One easy mistake and the second set went away. But I am proud of myself because at the beginning of the third set it could have gone his way easily.”
Zverev recorded his 300th win as well at the event which is a major achievement for any tennis player, especially one on the younger side (24 years). The achievement made Zverev proud but he is looking for more. In order to do that, he will have to go through Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals, and on facing him he said:
“He [Alcaraz] has improved a lot. He has made big steps forward and is a great player, so I am looking forward to that match.”

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
