Zverev celebrates comeback: strong game in the round of 16 in Miami

Alexander Zverev has reached the round of 16 of the ATP master in Miami with a convincing appearance. The German tennis professional defeated the Australian Jordan Thompson in an exciting duel with 7: 5, 6: 4 and showed that he will find his strength back to his strength after difficult past tournaments. The game lasted 1 hour and 27 minutes, in which Zverev kept his nerves under control and converted his second match ball.

Although he had difficulties at the beginning of the game and quickly fell 1: 4 behind, Zverev found back into play. With an impressive chase, he secured two breaks and won the first set after 47 minutes. In the second set, Zverev put his opponent under pressure right from the start and took off Thompson, which led to a largely safe victory. After the match, Zverev expressed his satisfaction with his performance and said that Miami was one of his favorite cities in the United States where he feels good.

return to the form and future challenges

Zverev has been looking for his form in the past few weeks after he had to accept disappointing defeats at tournaments in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Acapulco. He also failed in the first round at the Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old seems to have found the rhythm again in Miami that he needs to make up points in the world rankings and win his first title at the 1000th tournament in Miami.

In the next round, Zverev meets either Arthur Fils from France or Frances Tiafoe from the USA. The pressure, as to perform in number one player, will be another challenge. However, Zverev emphasized that he is willing to accept these challenges and use its shape to fight back in the world of tennis. His opponents will surely be aware that Zverev is on a rising branch and could do everything possible to be successful in this tournament until the end.
