Zverev flies against Altmaier and signs the rooms in Munich

April 17, 2025

Alexander Zverev continues to add and look compromised and dire

The first series has lost only ten Games in its first two games and against Altmaier turned four of the six break points that generated, according to Infosys ATP Stats, to seal the victory in 80 minutes.

“Only victory [me hizo feliz]”Zverev said.” He always makes it complicated. He has won many front -row players. Has won a [Jannik] Sinner, he won me before, so he knows how to complicate the games. So I am very happy with the victory and wishing that the next game arrives, “he said.

Meanwhile, Zverev aspires this week to match the record of three Philipp Kohlschreiber titles in Munich, after his triumphs in the city of Bavara in 2017 and 2018. Now, it is the first time he wins consecutive matches in the event since his 2018 title.

“There are many positive things to get out and I’m looking forward to Friday,” he said. After a few difficult months, in which he has chained a 6-6 record since he reached the final of the Australian Open, Zverev expects his excellent start in Munich to be a sign of what is to come. The 23-time circuit champion expects to maintain its form in the quarterfinals on Friday, when you face Tallon Griekspoor, who won the local guest Yannick Hanfmann 7-6 (3), 6-3.

For its part, the second head of series, Ben Shelton, also enjoyed a comfortable victory in the second round. The American left-hander got rid of Botic Van de Zandschulp by 7-6 (1) and 6-3 to reach its second quarterfinals in whipped land, after its title of Houston 2024.

Shelton, who saved three game points before exceeding Borna Gojo in the first round, won 83 percent (33/40) of the points with his first service in his first meeting Lexus ATP Head2head with Van de Zandschulp. With his victory, the 22 -year -old became the youngest American fourth -fourtener in Munich since the ex No. 1 of the world Jim Courier reached the same phase with 19 years in 1990.

Shelton will face Luciano Darderi in the round of 16. The Italian achieved his seventh consecutive victory in the circuit by beating Miomir Kecmanovic 2-6, 7-6 (4) and 6-4. Darderi was 2-8 in 2025 after his defeat in the second round in Miami last month, but since then he has reached an ATP Challenger Tour final in Naples, he raised his second ATP Tour Tourkech trophy in Marrakech, and now he has won his first two games in Munich.
