Tennis tournament in Beijing
The racket flies: Zverev frustration in the event of defeat against Medwedew
Alexander Zverev has to tick off the title of the title at the tennis tournament in Beijing. In the quarter -finals, the Hamburgers disappointed against a permanent rival. How fit he is is open.
Alexander Zverev also lost the fifth duel in a row with his fear opponent Daniil Medvedev and missed the semi-finals at the tennis tournament in Beijing. The Tokyo Olympic champion in the quarter -finals earned 3: 6, 3: 6 a day after statements about renewed back pain. The 28-year-old showed a disappointing performance and, in particular, made too many forehand errors.
For a good two years, he has not been a victory against his Russian permanent rival, who plays a weak season for his standards and has slipped to 18th place in the world rankings.
The racket flies twice
Zverev was surprisingly successful on the net, but was too often inferior in the basic line. The number three in the world lightly gave the service to 1: 3 and was no longer able to make up for this gap against the former US Open winner. Again and again his forehand let him down. Out of frustration, he peppered the racket onto the floor after one of his errors. A little later the first set was gone.
In the second round, Zverev threw his racket a second time. Again it was forehand errors that this time led to a loss of service to 3: 4. Zverev received a warning for the racket throw, shortly afterwards the match was over after 1:22 hours – characteristically after a cunning forehead of German number one.
The day before, the Hamburger had complained about physical complaints after his almost won round of round of 16 against the Frenchman Corentin Moutet. The back hurts again. “It’s frustrating. I’m just fed up,” said the 28-year-old. To what extent the symptoms also affected him against Medvedev is open.
The tournament in Shanghai continues from Wednesday. Zverev has a freewyle at the start.
