 The final City pass versus Alexander Zverev is the first semi-final for the men's French Open for 2021. Both players have had very impressive runs to the semi-final. Alexander Zverev entered the tournament as the number six seed, starting with the qualifier in the first round. And after dropping the first two sets, Sasha had to fight to come back to win in five, three, six, three, six, six, two, six, two, six love. His second round was another qualifier, Seth Fuland, who put up a big fight against Zverev in a couple of the sets, but Zverev eventually prevailed in three, seven, six, six, three, seven, six. His third round was against Serbian clay courted Jera. And even though the second set was tight, Zverev prevailed in straight sets again, six, two, seven, five, six, two. His fourth round opponent was a dangerous one in Kanishikori. And these two had played twice already on the clay with Zverev winning both, and this was no different with Zverev playing his best match of the tournament, winning in straight sets, six, four, six, one, six, one. In the quarterfinals, he took on the unseeded Fakina. And after a tight first set, Zverev blew Fakina away, winning in straight sets, six, four, six, one, six, one. The final City pass entered the tournament as the fifth seed and took on local hope, Jeremy Shardy. And after a tight first set, City pass would prevail in straight sets, seven, six, six, three, six, one. His second round opponent was against Clay Court of Martinez. And City pass looked very impressive winning in straight sets again, six, three, six, four, six, three. His third round opponent was against the 31st seed, John Isner. And after dropping the first set, City pass had to fight to get through in four, eventually prevailing five, seven, six, three, seven, six, six, one. His fourth round opponent was against the 12th seed, Pablo Corino Busta. But there was no trouble for City pass in this one, getting through in straight sets, six, three, six, two, seven, five. In the quarterfinals, City pass would take on arch rival and number two seed, Daniel Mevedev, who'd been very impressive despite hating playing on clay. And after a fast start, City pass had to work for the win, eventually getting through in straight sets, six, three, seven, six, seven, five, to advance to another semifinal. These two have actually played seven times before with City pass leading the head to head, five, two, and one, zero on Clay in favour of City pass as well. If Zverev's going to win this match and advance to his first French open final, he needs to serve well. His game revolves around the serve. When he serves well, he usually plays well as well on the ground strokes, hitting big ground strokes like forehands and backhands for winners. So he needs to serve well if he's going to win this one. If City pass is going to win, he needs to be patient like he was against Mevedev. Just grind out the rallies, not try to go for winners too early and try and grind Zverev into the ground. Both players will be feeling fresh because they haven't had tough roads to the semifinals, but this will be the toughest match today. This one's a tough one to pick because we've got the Monte Carlo champion up against the Madrid champion, both ATP 1000 events, and both are playing for their first French open final. City pass actually playing for his first Grand Slam final, but I'm going to go with City pass in five. I usually don't pick five set matches, but I'm going to think this one's going to win five because Zverev's been very impressive, but also City pass has been a good counterpart, but I'm going to go with City pass to win in five to make it to his first final. But let me know down in the comments below, who do you think is going to win this one?
