Alexander Zverev is eyeing a fourth appearance in the Australian Open semifinals as he will take on 25th-seeded Learner Tien in the quarterfinals of the 2026 edition. Zverev finished as runner-up in the Australian Open 2025 and his goal will be to redeem himself to his maiden grand slam title this time. Zverev registered a 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 win over 18th-seeded Francisco Cerundolo to reach the quarterfinals.
The head-to-head between Zverev and Tien stand at 1-1. Both the meetings took place in recent past. The first meeting took place in Acapulco where Tien won 6-3, 6-4. They later faced each other at the French Open, which the German won 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. The battle will be between Zverev's power and Tien's tactical prowess and defence.
Learner Tien, meanwhile, is all set to make his first Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance when he takes on Zverev in the Australian Open 2026. He emerged as a giant-killer in the competition so far as he defeated 11th seed Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-0, 6-3 in the fourth round clash. He has showed that his defence and tactical awareness is solid enough to trouble Zverev.
