Alexander Zverev reveals an important detail about the courts in

Alexander Zverev made his debut in the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati yesterday. The German ace – who won this tournament in 2021 – defeated Russian ace Karen Khachanov in two sets and qualified for the round of 16, where he will face Spaniard ace Pablo Carreno Busta.

Sascha is playing a great season and not far from Jannik Sinner in the ATP Race, but he has not yet found the high ground in 2024. The German reached the final at the French Open, but was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz in five sets. Zverev looked close to victory when he was two sets ahead of him, but the Spaniard didn’t let him out in the next two sets.

Alexander looked in great shape at the Wimbledon Championships, but a knee injury prevented him from playing 100% against Taylor Fritz in the round of 16. The German was one of the main favorites to win a medal at the Paris Olympics – which were played on the same courts as the French Open – but he had to surrender to a great Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals. The Cincinnati tournament will be important for Zverev to get in good shape at the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season. Sascha reached the final in New York in 2020, while last year he was stopped by Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.

Zverev clinches 50th win of 2024

Alexander Zverev is one of the main favourites for victory in Cincinnati, just behind Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Italian Jannik Sinner. Speaking with the ATP official website after his win over Khachanov, Zverev opened up on the conditions in Cincinnati: “It’s probably one of the fastest court we play this year. Conditions are very, very fast here. I think the ball is going through very, very quickly in the air. It’s sometimes difficult to control the ball… it really takes time to get used to.”
