With a 6-1 record, Alexander Zverev was optimistic going into the United Cup semi-final against Alex de Minaur. However, the Australian achieved his only success in 2020 in front of a home crowd at the ATP Cup.
In the evenly balanced first set, both players held their serves until 5:5, without allowing a single break chance. Suddenly the 24-year-old De Minaur wobbled in the eleventh game and was faced with three running break balls at 0:40, of which Zverev was able to use the first. The Hamburger served the first round successfully with his own serve and finished with a backhand volley.

Inspired by winning the set, the Australian used the momentum and quickly gained a 2-0 lead, which he didn’t relinquish until the end. With a successful overhead ball he secured the 5:7, 6:3, 6:4 success after 2:41 hours.
