Prestigious victory for Alexander Zverev. The German beat Daniil Medvedev, world No. 3, Thursday in the round of 16 of the Cincinnati Masters 1000 (6-4, 5-7, 6-4). Pushed to his limits in the third set by the Russian, Zverev saved two break points before managing to break his opponent, then to conclude the game on his serve from his first match point.
By beating Daniil Medvedev for their seventeenth career clash, Alexander Zverev offered his first victory against a top 10 player since Roland-Garros 2022, when he eliminated Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals. In the next round, Zverev will face the winner of the match between American Mackenzie McDonald and Adrian Mannarino.
