Halle Zverev

Playing at home in Germany for the Halle tournament, Zverev advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Italian Sonego in three tight sets (3-6, 6-4, 7-6). In a press conference after his victory in Halle, he reflected on the match:

"Neither of us had many break opportunities. The key to the match, I think, was staying calm at 5-5. It was a very important match. Then, I managed to play an almost perfect tie-break. I’m happy with the result and the match I played."

Facing Cobolli in the next round, the German knows his opponent will be eager to show something new after their Roland-Garros clash last May (Zverev won 6-2, 7-6, 6-1):

"Against Cobolli here, it will be different from Roland-Garros. Grass and clay are completely different surfaces. I think Cobolli is a great player, very young, and he’s improving week after week. And it’s really fun because I enjoy spending time with him. I hope it will be an entertaining match—we’ll see what happens.
