Reigning Olympic men’s singles champion Alexander Zverev of Germany will try to book his spot in the semifinal round as he faces No.11 seed Lorenzo Musetti of Italy in the quarterfinals. Zverev has been impeccable through his first three matches, beating Jaume Munar of Spain 6-2, 6-2, Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-5, and Alexie Popyrin of Australia 7-5, 6-3 to reach the final eight of the tournament. Zverev is aiming to replicate the feat made by Andy Murray, who won the men’s singles gold in two consecutive Olympics (London and Rio de Janeiro). On the other hand, Musetti has punched his way to the quarterfinal following scintillating performances against Gael Monfils of France 6-1, 6-4, Mariano Navone of Argentina 7-6, 6-3, and Taylor Fritz of the USA 6-4, 7-5. Musetti recently reached the semifinal of the Wimbledon Open, losing to Novak Djokovic in three sets 6-4 7-6(2) 6-4.
