Tennis professional Alexander Zverev was eliminated in the round of 16 at the Masters 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy.
The Olympic champion lost his third round game against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6:7 (2:7), 4:6 and thus missed important points in the fight for participation in the ATP Finals in Turin in mid-November. For Zverev it was already the 13th defeat in the 15th match against a top ten player this year.
A day after his 3.5-hour match against Frenchman Ugo Humbert, Zverev didn’t get off to a good start. He gave up his first serve game. With a break to make it 4:5, the German saved himself into the tiebreak, which Tsitsipas clearly determined. In the second set, too, the world number six from Greece, who had to have his right leg treated by his physiotherapist in the first round, often made the better decisions.
In the evening (not before 8.30 p.m.) Daniel Altmaier will also play in his round of 16. The 25-year-old from Kempen, who benefited from the American Taylor Fritz’s withdrawal due to injury in the second round, will take on the Dane Holger Rune, trained by tennis icon Boris Becker.
