Sascha Zverev doesn’t accept defeat and he clearly showed that after saving a match point against Gasquet following an amazing 49 shots rally.

What happened

Sascha was 6-3 4-6 5-6 30-40 down in the 2^nd round against Richard to engage in an extremely long and tough rally against the Frenchman that played in full defensive mode for the entire duration of the exchange that lasted 1 minutes and 15 seconds and was resolved by a forehand from the German.

After this rally, everything went to the breaker that Zverev won at 3. The final score was 6-3 4-6 7-6 (3) and to get that Sascha had to save 3 match points in total.

Next vs. Kyrgios

Zverev will face his friend Nick Kyrgios in the 3^rd round. Even if the head to head is 2-0 for the Australian, Sascha is the favorite to win this one if he is fresh from a physical point of view.
