Andy Murray has been on a roll since the tournament started Monday. He went undefeated in Group 1, including an easy 3-0 win over Rafael Nadal to secure his spot in the quarterfinal.
Things continued to go Murray's way in a 6-1 victory against Alexander Zverev. The two-time Wimbledon champion couldn't help but admit after reaching the semifinals that he's "just much better" than everyone he's playing.
Murray's path to the championship match will go through Diego Schwartzman in the semifinal. The Argentinian was given a good test by Fabio Fognini before prevailing 6-3.
According to ATPTour.com, Murray described Schwartzman's level of play as "terrible" when the two practiced against each other before the start of the tournament.
On the women's side, Sorana Cirstea ended Bianca Andreescu's run in dramatic fashion with a 7-6 win.
Cirstea's run to the semifinal is even more impressive considering that she's new to the world of video-game tennis.
"I didn't even realize that there were three match points. I only remember one," she said to WTA Tennis after beating Elina Svitolina on Monday. "I said, 'Sorana, if you don't win this point, you're going to be out!' It was an unbelievable comeback. I didn't even believe it. I'm very happy, because I know Elina is very good at this, and for me, the fact that I picked up a PlayStation one week ago, this means a lot."
Cirstea hasn't won a WTA singles title since 2016 and hasn't advanced to a final since the Tashkent Open in September. She is two wins away from securing her first win in a virtual tournament but must first get by Fiona Ferro in the semifinal.
Caroline Wozniacki's comeback tour continues to pay dividends thanks to a 6-0 win over Johanna Konta. The 2018 Australian Open champion has won 12 straight games since her opening match against Kristina Mladenovic (4-2).
