Zverev fails again: surprising bankruptcy in Acapulco!
In a big surprise, the young US tennis player Learner Tien from California threw the German tennis star Alexander Zverev out of the competition at the 500th tournament in Acapulco. Tien, only 19 years old and number 83 of the world rankings, clearly won 6: 3, 6: 4 in the round of 16 and thus ensured a further setback in the previous year of the German Open finalist from 2023, who also left at the tournament in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, as vienna.at reported.Zverev, who started as the top player in Mexico, showed some weaknesses in the game against the left -hander. A mistake in overhead ball was particularly crucial, which screwed up the chance of breaking a break in the first set. Despite a comfortable 4-1 lead in the second set, he could not keep the lead and lost all five following games, which led to a fast end of the tournament. With this defeat, Zverev has now not managed its last three tournaments in South and Central America beyond the round of 16, such as Web.de
additional failures of the favorites
Zverev's defeat becomes even clearer when you consider that other top favorites also left the tournament. Both the Norwegian Casper Ruud and the American Tommy Paul did not compete for their encounter due to stomach problems. The Dane Holger Rune also gave up a game while he was 0: 3 against Brandon Nakashima. The results lead to an unexpected and exciting quarter -finals, in which Learner Tien meets the Czechen Tomas Machac, who was also able to prevail.
