The Philippine Star
|January 26, 2024

Early Thursday, Alexander Zverev snuffed out a thrilling Carlos Alcaraz comeback to set up a semifinal against Daniil Medvedev.
The big-serving German recovered from a major wobble to win 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2/7), 6-4 in just over three hours, crushing Alcaraz's hopes of a third Grand Slam title.
In a rematch of their US Open final in September, the two reigning hardcourt Grand Slam champions made contrasting starts as Belarusian Sabalenka fired an ace and revved up her forehand to hold before pouncing on two double faults by Gauff to break.
