Sinner is also the first player born in the 2000s to reach 350 victories on the ATP tour. He expressed his joy, stating, “I’m very happy. It’s never easy playing semifinals. Arthur Fils is one of the best players in the world right now. I appreciate the support as always. It’s very special to play here. It’s my first time in the final, and it means a lot.”
After defeating the 25th-ranked player, Sinner advanced by winning 6-2, 6-4. He aims for his first title in Madrid and his ninth Masters 1000 title overall, having won Indian Wells, Miami, and Montecarlo earlier this year.
In the other semifinal, Zverev, the third seed, defeated Belgian Alexander Blockx, ranked 69th, with a score of 6-2, 7-5. Zverev is pursuing his eighth Masters 1000 title and aims for his third victory in Madrid.
He previously won the tournament in 2018, defeating Dominic Thiem, and in 2021, overcoming Matteo Berrettini. The head-to-head record favors Sinner, with nine wins against Zverev’s four. Notably, Sinner has won the last eight matches against Zverev.
