Marrakech. Sascha Zverev has a smooth start of his 2019 clay court campaign after he won his first match on the dirt in Morocco against Denis Istomin.

Sascha scored 67 points vs. Istomin’s 55.
Zverev happy how he trained in Monte Carlo
After the match, Alexander admitted that he was very happy for the win especially for the fact that he arrived very late in Morocco. The German commented
“This was my first clay match of the season. I’m very happy that I won it. I only arrived here last night, but I had been practicing well in Monaco.
The atmosphere was great; the fans gave me a lot of support. This is my first time in Morocco, and the people are amazing. The tournament is very well-organized, and it’s a pleasure to be here.”
Head to head Alexander Zverev vs. Jaume Munar
Sascha will face the world no.60 Jaume Munar for a place in the quarters. There is no head to head record since this will be the first time that they play each other.
A GOOD START FOR ZVEREV
