German top seed Alexander Zverev took out American third seed Ben Shelton with a 7-6(8) 7-6(1) victory in the semi-finals of the Stuttgart Open on Saturday to set up a showdown with Taylor Fritz.
Zverev praised Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, acknowledging the level of tennis they provided in the title clash on Court Philippe-Chatrier. World no. 3 understands the young guns are ahead of him, and he wants to catch up.
