Alexander Zverev must feel very innocent regarding the complaint of gender violence filed by his ex-partner Brenda Patea, who is also the mother of his son.
While the trial is taking place these days in a Berlin court, Sascha continues to win at Roland Garros and has shown his good form.
The German arrived in the French capital with the vitola of champion of the Rome Masters 1000 and has been eliminating all the obstacles one by one. It started with Rafael Nadal and the Balearic David Goffin, Tallon Griekspoor, Holger Rune and Wednesday’s Alex de Miaur followed, with a score of 6-4, 7-6(5) and 6-4.
After two five-set matches, in the third round and in the round of 16, he needed to win quickly to avoid facing a physical handicap in his semifinal with Casper Ruud. And the Norwegian will appear rested this Friday because Novak Djokovic retired before playing. To find the last time he entered the court you have to go back to last Monday with Taylor Fritz.
Ruud presents as credentials that he has reached the final in the French Internationals in the last two editions. Zverev has been knocking on the doors of the final for four years in a row.
