Alcaraz 6-4, *5-6 Zverev
Oh Alexander. Just as Alcaraz raises his level, the mistakes creep into the third seed’s game. Alcaraz is getting to where he wants, and making Zverev serve up the ball to him in those spots.
A needless flop into the net from Zverev and then Alcaraz’s forehand volley in successive points make it 15-40.
Zverev clips the line on his way to saving the first, then goes big with his serve to crawl to deuce.
Impressive composure from Zverev to that point in recovering the situation, and then securing the game.
Huge cheers at that. Now, can the third seed cause Alcaraz some problems on his serve too?
