6:18 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 6:3, 1:1
An ace to equalize. Sophia Thomalla in sascha’s box is happy.
6:15 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 6:3, 0:1
First lead for Dominic. It’s very quick here.
6:10 p.m
Conclusion I
It took a little more than half an hour, that’s often how it is on grass. Sascha untouchable on his own serve, Dominic helped with the only break with two double faults.
6:09 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 6:3
Dominic fends off the first set ball with a clever forehand ball, Zverev does the second with a volley.
6:06 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 5:3
Dominic does the duty. It’s Sascha’s turn now.
6:05 p.m
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz has…
…pulled his head out of the noose against Arthur Rinderknech.
6:02 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 5:2
Sascha confirmed to zero.
5:59 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 4:2
Sascha opens offensively with the backhand. A doubler brings the 0:30. The next the 0:40. Zverev uses the second break chance, Thiem’s forehand is too long.
5:56 p.m
The next opponent…
… and the next date has already been set: tomorrow evening, not before 5:30 p.m., the winner will play against Denis Shapovalov.
5:55 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 3:2
Played from above, as they say…
5:52 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 2:2
Thiem very aggressive up to 40:0, the equalization is easy.
5:50 p.m
The Court…
… in Halle, by the way, has long since been in the shade. It’s easier to play there.
5:48 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 2:1
The forehand has already flown away from Sascha a few times. At 30:15 a backhand also sails past the baseline. Another forehand error brings the first breakball. But Dominic can’t do anything with Zverev’s second serve. Two aces follow.
5:44 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 1:1
Important compensation for Dominic. Also because the first serve only came once.
5:39 p.m
Zverev – Thiem 1:0
When the ball is in play, Dominic tries a backhand slice. If Sascha hits the first serve like he did in the first game, the ball won’t be in play as often.
5:37 p.m
And please!
It starts with a serve from Alexander Zverev.
5:35 p.m
The outfitter connects…
… Thiem and Zverev yes. And both are wearing red trousers and a black shirt. However, Dominic’s parts are still patterned. Sascha is a fashion purist today.
17:30
Sascha has 2023 …
… already won 21 matches, Dominic only seven. And then there are the men.
5:24 p.m
Thiem against Zverev so…
… for the twelfth time. And as a premiere on grass. Even if Dominic leads 8:3 in the balance sheet, Sascha must be seen as the favourite. In any case, after the semifinals of Roland Garros, he comes onto the court with more momentum. But also with a small question mark as far as his thigh is concerned.
5:18 p.m
Hard to believe, but:
Andrey Rublev actually won the match against Yibing Wu. Not a matter of course after the end of the second movement. But sausage. Now Thiem and Zverev are allowed to play.
5:05 p.m
Rublev forgives a few …
…chances to 5-0, returns one of two breaks. It says 4.1. Either way, Dominic and Sascha can slowly get ready. We already are.
4:40 p.m
Then let’s play three!
Strong finish by Wu in the tiebreak. And we’re in the third set. Dominic and Sascha can lie down again.
4:31 p.m
Yibing Wu…
… is a really relaxed player. Already very good as a junior, then injured for a longer period. Currently coached by Marcos Baghdatis. And most recently in the tie-break against Andrey Rublev.
4:23 p.m
Exciting!
Andrey Rublev serves on winning the match. And loses his service game to zero.
4:13 p.m
Rublev now leads…
… also in the second set with a break – with 4:3. And in the Queen’s Club, Carlos Alcaraz lost the first set against Arthur Rinderknech 4:6. Hmmm …
4:01 p.m
Rather ugly from an Austrian point of view:
Lucas Miedler and Alexander Erler were eliminated in the first round of doubles in Halle. With 11:13 in the Champions League against Nicolas Jarry and Rafael Matos.
3:47 p.m
Short update:
Rublev won the first set against Wu 6-4. Meanwhile, on the second largest court in Halle, Yannick Hanfmann is preparing to defeat Louis Wessels in three sets in a purely German duel.
3:20 p.m
Over in the…
… Queen’s Club is also played. And then Holger Rune, the wonderful Dane, has just won his first match ever on grass. Twice in the tiebreak against Maxime Cressy. Carlitos Alcaraz is about to arrive…
3:11 p.m
Hello Eich, the girls…
…, servas, the Buam! No, slow down, slow down! Nothing is happening with Dominic and Sascha yet. Because Sinner Jannik and Gasquet Ritchie have played their entry fee. And the Rublev Andrey and the Wu Yibing just started. Of course you should stay. And read along a bit.
