Wimbledon: Zverev Storms Into Fourth Round, Eyes Maiden Quarter-final Berth
All England Club: Second seed Alexander Zverev continued his impressive Wimbledon campaign with a commanding straight-sets victory over Marcos Giron, defeating the American 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4 on Saturday to reach the fourth round at the All England Club for the fourth time in his career.
Fresh from winning his long-awaited first Grand Slam title at the French Open, the German arrived at Wimbledon full of confidence, even though he admitted that grass is his least-favored surface. He has never made it past the fourth round at SW19, but his recent performance suggested he might finally be ready to break through.
Zverev controlled the opening set with strong serving before Giron stepped up his game in the second. The American didn't face any break points and forced a tie-break. Zverev remained composed, saving the two break points he faced and performing well in the tie-break to come within one set of victory.
