Home favorite Alexander Zverev rallied for a 6-7 (6), 7-6 (3), 6-4 quarterfinal win Friday against Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor at the BMW Open in Munich, Germany.

Griekspoor served for the match at 5-4 in the second set before the top-seeded Zverev dug deep to finish in 3 hours and 14 minutes. Closing in on his third Munich title, Zverev’s opponent in Saturday’s semifinal will be unseeded Hungarian Fabian Marozsan, a 6-3, 7-6 (4) winner over Belgium’s Zizou Bergs.

The other semifinal pits No. 2 seed Ben Shelton against No. 5 Francisco Cerundulo of Argentina. Shelton struck seven aces and never faced a break point in a 6-4, 6-3 defeat of Italy’s Luciano Darderi. Cerundolo moved on with a 6-2, 6-4 victory against Belgium’s David Goffin.

Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz moved closer to his third Barcelona title with a 7-5, 6-3 quarterfinal win against No. 5 seed Alex de Minaur of Australia in Spain.

Alcaraz fell behind 3-1 in the opening set before finding his form and advancing to the semifinals against seventh-seeded Frenchman Arthur Fils, who had a 2-0 lead over Stefanos Tsitsipas when the third-seeded Greek retired due to an injury.

No. 6 seed Holger Rune of Denmark and unseeded Russian Karen Khachanov meet in the other semifinal. Rune took down No. 2 Casper Ruud of Norway 6-4, 6-2 and Khachanov advanced with a 6-4, 7-5 victory against Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
