Zverev loses anticipated endpiece against TsitsiPas clearly

Tennis Olympic Champion Alexander Zverev has to continue waiting for the first end game feed at the ATP tournament in Monte Carlo. The 24-year-old defeated the Greeks Stefanos TsitsiPas on Saturday in his adopted home with 4: 6, 2: 6 and remains this year without a tournament victory.

After the quarterfinal success against Jannik Sinner from Italy fought in more than three hours, Zverev had to be beaten after 75 minutes and could not build on the strong performance of the previous day.

On Friday, the world's ranking crystal had been treated for complaints on the right thigh and did not work against TsitsiPas at the height of his forces. Already in the semifinals of French Open 2021, Zverev had lost on sand against world ranking.
