Alexander Zverev confidently mastered the opening hurdle at the ATP tournament in Vienna. The number one seed from Hamburg easily won against the Austrian Joel Schwärzler 6:2, 6:2. In the round of 16, Zverev will face the winner of the game between the two Americans Alex Michelsen and Marcos Giron.
Zverev, who recently had to struggle with the after-effects of pneumonia, was clearly superior to the 347th in the world rankings. The German only fell a little behind on match point. After 67 minutes, Zverev only converted the fourth match point.
