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 2nd 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 3rd 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.
THAT WAS A FIGHT!
