Wimbledon: Zverev Drops Set In Tough Win Over Blockx; Mensik Wins Another Five-setter
Lexus ATP Head2Head: French Open champion Alexander Zverev did not have things all his own way at Wimbledon on Tuesday and had to battle past Belgian Alexander Blockx to reach the second round at the All-England Club in London. In a tussle on Centre Court, the second-seeded German overcame the Wimbledon debutant 6-4, 6-7(8), 7-6(5), 7-6(0).
This was the third time this season that Zverev had faced Blockx, and the match followed the same script, a bit of a struggle before the German moved on.
Zverev, who ended his long wait for major glory earlier this month at Roland Garros to become the first German man to win a Slam since Boris Becker at the Australian Open in 1996, will now aim to back up his Paris run on the lawns in south west London, where he has never been beyond the fourth round.
