Sinner came out on top in his 13th meeting with Zverev, improving his record against the German thanks to a 6-1 6-4 victory on Court Rainier III.

Sinner set the tone for his triumph by breaking Zverev in the opening game of the match, going on to reel off the first four games to take a commanding lead early on.

Although Zverev eventually found his feet, a love service game put Sinner in front, but the Italian was put through his paces in the second set in order to get the job done. 

The pair traded blows throughout, but Sinner eventually got the better of Zverev's serve in what proved to be the final game of the match, sealing his progression to the final with his first match point. 

Sinner has been in imperious form to start the 2026 season, with his Sunshine Double victory at Indian Wells and the Miami Open giving him a huge confidence boost, which he has taken into the European clay-court swing.

"I'm very, very happy," Sinner said. "We came here trying to give myself some feedback. Now finding myself in the final means a lot to me.

"Every match, every day is different. I'm very happy about today's performance. I felt really solid from the beginning. When you're a break up straight away, it changes the dynamic of the match. Let's see what's coming in the final."
