Manolo Santana Stadium: Alexander Zverev maintained his impressive consistency at the ATP Masters 1000 level at the Madrid Open, where he eased past Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 6-4 inside Manolo Santana Stadium to book his place in the semi-finals.

With his 90-minute victory, the German became just the fourth man to reach the semi-finals at each of the first four Masters 1000 events of the season since the series began in 1990, joining Roger Federer (2006), Rafael Nadal (2010, 2011) and Jannik Sinner (2026).

Moreover, with his win over Cobolli, with which he improved to 3-1 in the pair’s ATP head-to-head series, Zverev also moved to 179 tour-level victories on clay, breaking his tie with Philipp Kohlschreiber for the most by a German man in the Open Era.
