Thiem stays on course; Sabalenka makes the women’s final
Rafael Nadal lost 6-4, 6-4 to Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the Madrid Open quarterfinals on Friday, casting doubts over the Spaniard’s form ahead of this month’s French Open. Zverev’s impressive straights-set win at the Caja Magica earns him a meeting with Dominic Thiem, in what will be a repeat of last year’s US Open final, which was won by Thiem. Thiem had earlier come from a set down to beat John Isner 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and reach the last four.More Related News
