First set: Fritz 2-2 Zverev*
Big serve down the T and smash to comply up from Zverev. Well placed serve out expansive next up and Fritz’s return discovers the top of the net. A rassociate! Both joiners covering plenty of ground, Zverev tries a drop volley but Fritz gets there and creates the pass, even Zverev and his albatross prospergspan can’t achieve it.

Fritz sends down two booming aces and gets the first game. Zverev tried a dinky drop stoasty that didn’t come off but did get a point with a rasping pass court backhand.
Righto, first set incoming. Fritz to serve!
Be still my beating heart:
Both men are sporting a Roger Federer style prohibitdana, neither has selected for Rog’s cable knit cardigan though. Remember that? Peak Fed.
Zverev watchs steely and centered, he’s in some of the best establish of his nurtureer so far. Taylor Fritz prospers the toss and elects to serve. Both joiners have absolute firearm serves, we might be in for some tie fractures, I can’t see too many fractures of serve in this suit.
Tim Henman leanks Zverev will get this one, he’s almost drowned out by the stadium DJ and joining strobe show. Which can only unbenevolent one leang, here come the joiners.
