Masters tournament: After 0:4 in the decisive set: Zverev still wins

“It was a tough match. In the end, the most important thing is that I progressed,” said Zverev. He previously had a crazy afternoon. After losing the first set, he initially improved and came back. In the decisive third set, the German number one made a blatant false start. Zverev quickly found himself 4-0 behind. His dissatisfaction was clearly visible. He argued and shouted. However, Zverev continued to fight and turned the set around at the end.

Zverev has big plans for this season

The Olympic champion wants to get used to the clay opener and finally fulfill his dream of winning his first Grand Slam this year. The second German individual starter, Daniel Altmaier, was already eliminated on Tuesday.

Medvedev stands out negatively

Before Zverev’s match, former world number one Daniil Medvedev caused a stir with a freak out. In the game against the Italian Matteo Berrettini, the 30-year-old Russian hit his racket several times on the ground at the beginning of the second set and completely smashed it. The 2021 US Open winner was warned for unsportsmanlike conduct. Medvedev lost the game 0:6, 0:6.
