How Zverev defeated Auger Aliassime

The crucial part of the match was probably the beginning. After Zverev broke the Canadian in the very first game, he shrugged of nerves to fly in the opening set and win 6-1. Things got complicated for the German in the second set after Sascha was broken at 15 in the 3rd game (1-2) and Felix consolidated his lead (3-1). Eventually, Zverev recovered the break (3-3) and after being broken again (3-4) he conquered 3 consecutive games to win 6-1 6-4 in 78 minutes and play against Fabio Fognini in the 3rd round.
