The German tennis player maintained control over the course of the match throughout. His serve helped him significantly toward victory, as he recorded ten aces. On his first serve, he won 37 of 43 points, representing an 86-percent success rate. teraz.sk ↗
Zverev needed only a single break in each set to build a decisive lead. Jódar, who is appearing at the tournament for the first time, failed to sufficiently exploit his opportunities against an opponent with significantly greater experience at top-tier events. Le Figaro ↗
