Night session for the first time, plus a good record against the opponent: Alexander Zverev is aiming for the round of 16 at the US Open in New York. The Hamburger is the favorite against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrow on Sunday night (1 a.m.). Two weeks ago, Zverev easily beat the Bulgarian in Cincinnati, but he doesn’t want to attach too much importance to the last duel so far.
He expects “a completely different” game, “hopefully it will be much better,” said the Olympic champion before his third round match. In Ohio, Zverev won 6: 2, 6: 2, in six duels against Dimitrov he won five times.
The twelfth in the world rankings is the last remaining German tennis pro in the individual competitions in Flushing Meadows. The strong Italian Jannik Sinner could wait for Zverev in the round of 16, followed by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals.
In 2020, Zverev was in the final in New York and narrowly missed his first Grand Slam victory.
