Well gosh. So Novak was all in trouble with his knee, trainer on at least twice.
Lo and behold he managed to win.

Cracker between Zverev and Rune too.

A lot of drama yesterday, even if Djokovic was gutsy Cerrundolo had a bit to deal with- missed great chance though! Anyway Novak has now pulled out, a torn medial meniscus in the right knee apparently.

Sinner has reached the semi for the first time. He is also now World No 1.

[JAMES4578]

yes well done Sinner! He will face Alcaraz in the semi after the spaniard put out Tsitsipas 6-3,7-6,6-4. Ruud will face the winner of Zverev and De Minaur.

[JAMES4578]

Men's final will be between Alcaraz and Zverev, an exciting match with Carlos and Sinner - strong start from Jannik and was up 2 sets to 1 but Alcaraz seemed to have more stamina as he took decider 6-3 (Sinner did have cramp in hand at one point though). Zverev came back from slow start to win in 4, Ruud though apparently had stomach bug half way through.

[cazza99]

Should be a good final.

[cazza99]

Alcaraz and Zverev Head to Head.

Fabulous 5 set final, whilst could have been bit of a blow when Alcaraz was unable to serve out the 3rd and lost it 7-5 zverev could not maintain the momentum. A high level from Carlos to clinch the next two 6.1,6-2 (though the final set closer than the score suggested) such determination as Alcaraz took his 3rd slam (all on different surfaces) even if was a bit up and down for parts of the contest.
