In the Cincinnati Open semifinal, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev will continue their longstanding rivalry. Djokovic would like to win the tournament prior to the US Open since he is in excellent shape.
On the other hand, Zverev recovered from an injury after he tore the ligaments in his ankle during his 2022 French Open semifinal match against Rafael Nadal. So far after such a severe injury, he has had a successful session. He’s already won a title for his comeback, so it’ll be interesting to see if he can beat the all-time great.

Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev: Match Preview
Djokovic and Zverev have met 11 times, with Novak winning seven times and Zverev winning four times. After nearly two years, they will face off again in the semifinals. Djokovic has been on a roll lately, dropping only 13 games in three matches this week. Following his defeat in the Wimbledon final, Djokovic appears to have brought an outrageous level of tennis to Cincinnati, perhaps letting out his frustration.
Zverev, on the other hand, had an early exit from the Canadian Open. However, he knocked out Daniil Medvedev, Yoshihito Nishioka, and Grigor Dimitrov in this tournament to advance to the semifinals. He is in excellent shape and has advanced to the semifinals in Halle, Geneva, Paris, and Dubai.
Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev: Match Preview
Zverev defeated Djokovic in their most recent meeting in 2021, winning 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-3 in the Nitto ATP Finals in Italy. Since then, a lot has changed, and Djokovic’s game has vastly improved, breaking all previous records.
It will be difficult for the German to prevail since Djokovic has excellent consistency and great footwork. Zverev will have to do his best to outperform him by attacking him from the start and going more on the net.
Prediction: Novak Djokovic wins in straight set
