Alexander Zverev came from two breaks down in the third set to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 on Saturday and reach the final of the WTA and ATP Cincinnati Masters.  The German, who briefly left the court to vomit in the final set as he stepped up his fightback in front of a full crowd, will take a 4-0 record into Sunday’s final with Andrey Rublev.

The Russian fourth seed surprised World No. 2 compatriot Daniil Medvedev 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. World No. 7 Rublev had never won so much as a set in four previous losses to Medvedev, top seed in the prestigious hardcourt tournament that serves as a tuneup for the US Open.
