Zverev Scares Himself in Acapulco but Qualifies
Alexander Zverev made his debut in the ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco against Matteo Arnaldi.
It seems that the German had trouble adapting to the change of surface, having played last week on clay in Rio.
After losing the first set in a tiebreak, he managed to refocus and win 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 in 2 hours and 46 minutes of play.
He will face Learner Tien in the next round, who eliminated Cameron Norrie.
