Defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas recovered from 0-4 down in the final set to defeat Diego Schwartzman on Friday to reach the Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals where he will face Olympic champion Alexander Zverev.
Greek third seed Tsitsipas had been a set and 5-2 ahead at one stage and seemingly cruising to the last four. However, his Argentine opponent hit back only to be thwarted in a quarter-final which wrapped up at 11:00pm local time.
“I don’t think I’ve ever made such a comeback in my career. It was crazy… I found the resources and I’m proud of it,” said Tsitsipas. Second-seeded Zverev won through 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) against Italian 12th-seed Jannik Sinner.
