–

Some surprises on semifinal Sunday – especially with the early exits of Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev.

But world No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. world No. 4 Alexander Zverev is a mighty fine Masters 1000 semifinal.

The other semi is a bit more of a wild card affair. With players whose talent exceeds their current ranking in large part.
