Kid Shades Alexander Zverev in a Photo at the Beginning of the Match against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2023 Paris Masters.

The tennis players Zverev and Tsitsipas faced each other for the 13th time since their first match in 2018, with Tsitsipas leading the head-to-head 8-4. In the round of 16 at the Paris Masters, Tsitsipas secured victory in two sets, 7-6(2), 6-4.

This win earned him the sixth spot in the ATP Finals, with just two slots left for the year-end tournament that gathers the top 8 players of the year. Zverev also had the opportunity to secure his place, but this loss requires him to await the results over the next few days.

Despite this, 'Sascha' remains in a favorable position to qualify, ranking seventh and practically securing a spot, pending the performance of Holger Rune and Alex De Minaur in Paris. In the electrifying match between Zverev and Tsitsipas, a hilarious situation occurred at the start of the match during the customary photo session.

This time, a young boy was involved, who paid more attention to Tsitsipas, playfully sidelining Zverev. The former world No. 2 German player approached to place his hand on the boy's shoulder for the photo, but the boy only approached Tsitsipas, playfully ignoring Zverev.

The Greek player advanced to the quarter-finals after defeating Zverev and faced Karen Khachanov, whom he defeated with a score of 6-3, 6-4. This victory secured his spot in the semi-finals, marking his return to the final four of a Masters 1000 tournament after six months, with his last appearance at this stage being in the Rome Open where he was defeated by the Russian, Daniil Medvedev.

In the semi-finals, he will go up against the Bulgarian player, Grigor Dimitrov, currently ranked 17th in the world. Dimitrov has had a strong finish to the year and this week he eliminated Lorenzo Musetti (22nd), Daniil Medvedev (3rd), Aleksander Bublik (33rd), and Hubert Hurkacz (9th).
