LIVE! Barty plays, Zverev, Otte and Kerber later

As Sam Querkey in the first round, Albert Ramos was not necessarily a pleasant task for Alexander Zverev. The Spaniard had recovered 2021 Estoril and last with smaller ATP tournaments with two semi-final and final participation. The Routinian then put a nervous start and cashed the break in the first game. Zverev himself did not play very well, initially visible no rhythm - but that was not necessary, because Ramos lacked the length in his beats. For example, the German handed an average performance to set sentence one after only 22 minutes (!) With 6: 1.

Sentence two was also a one-sided thing: Ramos was simply not at the height, the 33-year-old played too timid, barely went into the risk and continued a mistake to the other. ZVEREV was even allowed to allow one or the other unconcentration, won the passage ultimately absolutely loose with 6: 0 - this time the Hamburg needed 23 minutes.

ZVEREV saves forces - first serve Bärenstark

When Zverev also succeeded in the third round, the rapid break, the Spaniard's fighting spirit had finally passed on vacation. Ramos seemed desperately, took his second game in this match after exactly one hour - for that, there was a pityplate for the audience. ZVEREV, in turn, could not be confused, the world-renowned route is routinely routed his program and won at the end with 6: 1, 6: 0, 6: 3. It was a good day, Zverev then said at Eurosport. Albert did not show his best tennis, said the 24-year-old, emphasizing that he himself plays quite well at the moment, then it becomes difficult for the opponent if he has no good day.

ZVEREV did not only have a tremendous force in the 2nd round, as he was just 74 minutes on the Court, he also shone with a bavery surcharge: the 24-year-old impressed with a quota of 93 percent scanned points at the first serve - and 81 Percent of its first came into the field! This is the most important blow I have. If that works, then I play well and win tournaments. If he does not work so well, then it is a match as in Wimbledon (2: 3 after sentences in the quarterfinals against Felix Auger Aliasside, Note D.Red.). The surcharge has always been my base.

Zverev's coming opponent will be determined in the evening between Jack Sock (USA) and the Kazakh Alexander Bulk.
