Almost a month before the French Open began, Alexander Zverev at the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid has just averted another setback. After a completely failed start, number two of the tennis world fought in the third round for a 2: 6, 7: 6 (7: 3), 7: 6 (7: 0) against the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
The top German player moved into the round of 16. There he meets the Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo or his compatriot Francisco Commesana.
He played terribly in the first set, said Zverev. “I came out and had no idea what was happening. He played incredibly and I made mistakes.”
Zverev pulls out a cell phone for evidence photo before anger
A scene at the end of the second set caused a stir when Zverev was annoyed that a ball of the Spaniard was well and not as a mistake. First he discussed with the referee, then he photographed the impression with his cell phone. The 28-year-old received a warning for this.
Linish judges no longer exist on the ATP tour, an electronic system takes over the decisions. The Spaniard had previously considered a different decision as wrong.
In the third round, everything indicated a success from Zverev before the Tiebreak when he opened 5: 4 to win the match. But the last remaining German participant made another weak phase before cheering after his false start.
Toni Kroos sees 0: 4 deficit out of the box
Nothing had to be seen from the swing of the tournament victory in Munich on Easter Sunday at the beginning of the match. Zverev started weakly, did not make a point in the first ten rallies and was 0: 4 behind quickly after two impact losses. Only then did the Hamburger find a little better into the game.
Former soccer world champion Toni Kroos, ex-professional from Real Madrid, also followed the Zverev box, such as the world rankings 29. from Spain that was significantly better player in set one.
No Djokovic, no Alcaraz
After the tournament victory in Munich, Zverev in Madrid can calculate opportunities for the next title. The long-time Serbian world ranking list Novak Djokovic had experienced the next disappointment on Saturday with the next early end. The top star Carlos Alcaraz canceled his participation for adductor problems.
