Zverev reflects after Nadal victory to book Paris Masters Final place: "I'm happy to be in the final"

Alexander Zverev achieved the feat of becoming the first German to reach the Paris Masters final in 25 years on Saturday seeing off Rafael Nadal 6-4, 7-5.

Zverev will now take on Daniil Medvedev after a classy display which saw him hit 13 aces behind a brilliant serving display.

A winning streak continues for 'Sascha' which is now up to 12 matches following back-to-back titles in Cologne and he was pleased to win through.

"I had a lot of chances in the second set. I think at 4-2 I had a 0/40 game on his serve, which I didn't win," Zverev said.

"[In] those moments, the match can turn around, especially against Rafa. But I think I picked up my level at 4-5 down in the second set again and then it all went well. I'm happy to be in the final."
