Alexander Zverev made a successful start in Cincinnati against Nishesh Basavareddy. A semifinalist just a few days ago in Toronto, the German player reveals he asked the American organizers for a favor.

"I had asked for an evening match because I just came from Toronto, where it’s much colder, and I needed a few days to adjust to the heat and the conditions.

I’m happy with my win and the way I played."

He will face Brandon Nakashima in the next round.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.
