US Open: Zverev Survives Another Five-set Marathon To Enter Third Round
Arthur Ashe Stadium: Two days after opening his campaign with a marathon four-hour, 53-minute victory, top-seeded Alexander Zverev dug deep once again to defeat Quentin Halys, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-7(3), 6-3, in another five-setter inside Arthur Ashe Stadium to enter third round of the US Open.
Zverev, returning to the court after a nearly five-hour match on Tuesday, took his time in finding his rhythm against the Frenchman ranked No. 52 in another late-night thriller, this one clocking in at four hours, 33 minutes.
The German, whose first major championship this year came at Roland Garros, didn’t have his ‘A’ game as he struggled with his usually lethal backhand and serve.
