 Novak Djokovic vs Aleksandr Zverev, it's the second semi-final for the men's Cincinnati Open for 2023. Both guys have been very impressive to get to the semi-finals. Zverev entered the tournament as the number 16 seed, and will take on Grigory Dmytrov in the first round. This is no problem for Zverev getting through in straights, 6-2, 6-2. In the second round he take on Nishioka, and after a close first set, Zverev would win in straights, 7-5, 6-4. In the third round he take on Danomevvedev, the number three seed, a man that he'd already lost to three times this year. And after splitting the first two sets, Zverev would fight back in the final set to win, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, Zverev would take on the unseared Manorino. He wasn't expected to get this far, but Zverev was so dominant, getting through in straights, 6-2, 6-3, to advance to the semi-finals. Djokovic entered the tournament as the number two seed, and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Fakina, and after winning the first set, Fakina was forced to retire. In the second, giving Djokovic the win, 6-4 of retirement. In the third round he take on Moffiis, a guy that he'd beaten 18 times before. And just like the previous meetings, Moffiis had no chance. Djokovic getting the win, 6-3, 6-2, to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, Djokovic would take on the number nine seed Fritz, who played a close match against last year at the ATP Finals. However, Djokovic was on another level, beating Fritz in an hour, 6-love, 6-4, to advance to the semi-finals. These guys have played 11 times with Djokovic leading the head to head 7-4, but Zverev has won two of their last three matches, including a match two years ago at the ATP Finals. If Zverev is going to win this match, he needs to serve well and be aggressive. Fritz was so passive against Djokovic, despite having a big serve, so Zverev is going to have to do a little bit more than that and play more like he did when he played against Mervitav, come to the net and mix it up against Djokovic. If Djokovic is going to win this one, he needs to just keep doing what he's doing. He's beaten Zverev a few times before. Also, Zverev is still on the comeback. I know it's been almost eight months since he played his first match in his comeback, but he still is on the comeback and trying to get to these big finals. So, Djokovic should use that and maybe there is some nerves from Zverev that he can take advantage of in the first sets. These guys have a really cool little rivalry going on. Eleven times they've played, but they haven't played in two years. So, I've got to go with Djokovic in this one. I think Djokovic will win this one. Maybe in three sets, a close one, but I think Djokovic is just a little bit extra experience at the moment. Zverev is still, like I said, coming back to this stage of tournaments and rising up the rankings, but let me know in the comments below. Who's going to make the final?
