Tennis tournament in Beijing
With pain: Zverev painfully reaches the quarter -finals
Zverev scolds and wobbles. A strong opponent poses problems with him, but the German tennis star survives the challenge. He then reports once again about physical agony.
Despite pain on the back and physical problems, Alexander Zverev narrowly avoided the next setback at the ATP tennis tournament in Beijing. With a considerable effort of the Hamburgers in the round of 16, the strong Frenchman Corenin Moutet dies 7: 5, 3: 6, 6: 3. After 2:38 hours, the world ranking list made an attractive quarter-finals against his long-time Russian rival Daniil Medvedev.
Zverev about the pain: “I’m fed up”
“I didn’t feel physically good,” Zverev said on the court in the winner’s face and reported on the back of the back. “It’s frustrating. I’m just fed up,” says the 28-year-old.
The back pain has been with him for weeks, but Zverev did not want to accept it as an excuse for his third round out of the US Open in New York at the end of August. Spraying seemed to have resolved. But they appeared again against Moutet.
“Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow,” said Zverev. He lost four times against his quarter -final opponent Medvedev, but the Russian often did not reach his top form this season.
The match against Moutet threatened Zverev to slide out of his hands for a short time after the sentence compensation. With a double error, the German number one at the beginning of the third section gave the serve back. However, Zverev equalized immediately and fought for the fifth time to the quarter -finals of the China Open. “He plays well. How he has improved is phenomenal,” Zverev praised the French.
Moutet rages and conjures up
Moutet had started with a wit and courage in a strikingly empty hall. In the first set, Zverev had been in trouble several times with its own service, gave a 5: 3 lead and narrowly avoided the tie-break.
Moutet broke his racket after the lost first set – and was then the better player. The left -handed Zverev put pressure on stop balls, lobs, its dominant forehand and the aggressive returns. The Tokyo Olympic champion scolded in the second section towards his box, but was ultimately allowed to cheer.
