Zverev fails in the Vienna quarter -finals: fighting spirit is not enough!

Alexander Zverev, the tennis star and Olympic champion of 2021, tragically missed the semi-finals at the ATP tournament in Vienna! In an exciting match against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, the 27-year-old lost 6: 2, 6: 7 (5: 7), 4: 6. This defeat means that Zverev continues to wait for his second title this year.

The Hamburger showed itself in impressive form at the beginning of the game and won the first set in a playful way. But what was going on with him afterwards? Zverev could not keep his high level over the entire game and suddenly saw himself in a critical situation. After a fight in the tie break, he ultimately had to surrender. In the crucial third set, the fans did not believe their eyes when Zverev quickly fell 0: 3 behind. Despite an impressive comeback, it is not enough for victory in the end!

Musetti moves into the semi -finals

For Lorenzo Musetti, the way to the semi -finals is now paved! There he meets the British Jack Draper, who previously prevailed in a gripping match against Tomas Machac. Zverev had already won a title in Rome this year, but continues to fight with the aftermath of pneumonia, which could affect its performance. The question remains: how does the tennis star go?
