Sebastian Korda battled past Alexander Zverev in three sets to reach the Canadian Open semi-finals

Sebastian Korda’s sensational summer form continued, as the in-form American upset second seed Alexander Zverev to reach his second ATP Masters 1000 semi-final.

Korda prevailed 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 6-4 against Zverev for his eighth straight win and just his second in 14 encounters against top-five opponents.

The 24-year-old Korda, who last week won his second Tour title and first at ATP 500 level in Washington, will now prepare for a quick turnaround before his semi-final against Alexei Popyrin later on Sunday.

Popyrin’s incredible week continued after he defeated fourth seed Hubert Hurkacz 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 to make the last four.
