He caressed it with the fingers of his hands, but the German Alexander Zverev 27 years old and world No. 4, he will continue to count Wimbledon as one of his most unsatisfying tournaments. He collapsed as he glimpsed progress to the quarterfinals, a victim of American Taylor Fritz’s push and his own limitations. He went down physically, mentally it was difficult for him to face another fiasco on the London grass.
For the third time he remains in the second round of Wimbledon, the wall of the recent Roland Garros finalist, who appeared with a different mood at the All England Club. “I talked about it with my brother (Mischa). It’s the first time I really feel like I’m at Wimbledon to compete, maybe to win the title,” he said.
I wasn’t the only one who thought so. His executioner in Paris also believed in a positive change, Carlos Alcaraz, who pointed out that “many can do well, but for me Zverev is among the favorites, although in recent years he has not had great success here. I still take him as a rival to watch.”
A prediction that went down the drain at Wimbledon, as did Zverev’s hopes, which went to two sets, but the recent World Cup champion bounced back. Eastbourne ATP, Taylor Fritz who won 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3) and 6-3 in 3h.29′.
He repeats the quarterfinals in 2022, his best result so far at Wimbledon and at the Grand Slam. He will face a rookie in this round, the Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
Fritz achieved his first Grand Slam victory against a top-5 team at the tenth attempt. He is number 12, who appeared in the ‘top 10’.
