MATCH REPORT 2024 Miami Open: Alexander ZVEREV reaches 17th ATP Masters 1000 semi-final, ends Fabian MAROZSAN run
ATPThursday, 28 March 2024 at 19:53
Alexander Zverev has ended the run of Fabian Marozsan reaching the semi-finals of the 2024 Miami Open in a 6-3, 7-5 win over the Hungarian who has had an epic tournament but has fallen at the penultimate hurdle to the World Number Five who has reached a 17th Masters 1000 semi-final.
Marozsan defeated top 10 stars Holger Rune and Alex de Minaur en route to the last eight, but won't setup a rematch with a certain Carlos Alcaraz who will face Grigor Dimitrov in the Last Eight. Albeit we could get another chapter of Zverev v Alcaraz after their meetings at the Australian Open and Indian Wells shared one a piece.
Zverev started the match better breaking his opponent in the third game and after that, he saved a break point in game six. He added another to cement it at 6-3 to win the first set and keep up a perfect record so far this tournament set wise. The second set was a bit more of a closer affair. Both failed to convert break point chances.
But Marozsan failed to utilise game points serving to send it into a tie-break and Zverev's stay on court wasn't prolonged as he pounced on the missed chances and one match point was enough for the German to seal the second set 7-5. He will now face Alcaraz or Dimitrov like alluded to and the winner will face Jannik Sinner or Daniil Medvedev who are set for the other semi-final. Zverev though continues his superb record this year while Marozsan ends a fantastic run and after making a splash in Rome last year has begun to be more consistent than a one-hit wonder after dumping out Alcaraz last season.
His Masters 1000 credentials too have been superb as he had a better win ratio than Nadal or Djokovic in these tournaments in a bit of a tennis anomaly before his tie with Zverev and with a new ranking high will head to Monte-Carlo.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

AceOfBase11-09-2026 - Oh my God!! Does anyone proofread these pages??? Case in point: However, the question mark over the 32-years-old head......???? No! No! No! However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026
- No one else would get away with this but these AMERCANS! It’s the US Open!! In America!! But sure, go off American ;)DaveyWavey08-09-2026
- WOW !!! Her comebacks have been intense. She's Baaaaack!
mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
- Here we go again…. Different rules for Americans! Especially THESE Americans. Yuck!DaveyWavey07-09-2026
