Zhang Eases Past Altmaier
World no. 79 Zhang Zhizhen eased past Germany’s Daniel Altmaier in the quarterfinal on Friday.
The Chinese player, who made a stunning run to the quarterfinals in Madrid and also made it to the third round of the French Open, needed one hour and 25 minutes to beat the german 6-4, 6-4.
Zhang was not broken in the match as he saved both the break points that he faced. In contrast he had five opportunities to break Altmaier’s serve and he capitalised on two of those chances to advance to the final four stage.
Zhang had beaten Britain’s Jan Choinski 6-4, 7-5 in the first round and then the 26-year-old fought back from a set down to beat Yannick Hanfmann 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the round of 16.
Zhang, who has a 3-3 record in Challenger finals, will be hoping to reach his maiden final on Saturday.
