The Masters 1000 champion in Rome, Italy, had good results and two good first rounds at the French Open, but started his match very badly, perhaps affected by the accusation he faces in his country where he allegedly strangled his mother of his daughter, Brenda.

In the second and third he minimized his mistakes and managed to play close to his best tennis. But the Dutchman went on to win the fourth and wowed the crowd by taking a 4-1 lead with two breaks in the fifth. Zverev didn’t give up, he responded both and made it 5-4. The duel became dramatic, the two confirmed themselves and led to the decisive super tie-break.
