Zverev Stuns Darderi to Reach QF | Dubai News

Alexander Zverev cruised into the US Open quarter-finals with a straight-sets demolition of Luciano Darderi, dropping just two sets to love before sealing it in a tiebreak. It’s his fifth time reaching this stage at Flushing Meadows — and the only player this year to make the quarters at all four Grand Slams. Playing past midnight for the first time this year, Zverev praised his growing consistency and resilience after a grueling stretch of late-night and five-set battles. Darderi gave him a real test in the third set with fiery serves and clever drop shots, but Zverev stayed composed and powered through. Next up: a high-stakes showdown against Botic van de Zandschulp — a clash that could decide who advances to the final four. With momentum building and experience on his side, Zverev is clearly a force to be reckoned with as the tournament heats up.
