US OPEN 2021 – Alexander Zverev makes a successful entry against Sam Querrey (6-4, 7-5, 6-2) and qualifies

Alexander Zverev continues his very good series. Author of a very serious match against Sam Querrey, the German offered himself a ticket for the second round in barely 1h40 of play (6-4, 7-5, 6-2). An almost perfect match which allows the German to chain his 12th victory after the two tournaments won at the Tokyo Olympics and Cincinnati. In the second round, his opponent will be named Lucas Pouille or Albert Ramos-Vinolas.

Impeccable service. It is in these simple words that the summary of this almost perfect performance by Alexander Zverev resides. The German will never have trembled on his faceoff, in fact he will never have had break points to save. Imperial, Zverev won 90% of his points after a first ball, a figure demonstrating the effectiveness of the finalist of the 2020 edition of the tournament. Conversely, the German will have annoyed Querrey on his stake.

If he held for many games in the first two sets, the American each time trembled before giving in a little too simple, giving Zverev the opportunity to crucify him. Ruthless, the German raged. In the third round, Zverev did not want to delay. Killer on the slightest opportunity he had, he has too many times pushed a Sam Querrey too irregular, especially in forehand. The American gave no less than 28 points on unforced errors. Finally, it was Zverev who won after a fight of 1h41. A twelfth consecutive victory which allows him to advance to the second round to challenge the winner of the match between Albert Ramos Vinolas and Lucas Pouille on Thursday.
