Alexander Zverev has reached the quarterfinals for the third time at the Australian Open. The Olympic tennis champion won on Monday in Melbourne after a great fight against the Briton Cameron Norrie 7:5, 3:6, 6:3, 4:6, 7:6 (10:3) and can thus move on from the first Grand Dreaming of the Slam title of his career.
Zverev converted his first match point after 4:05 hours. In the fight for a place in the semi-finals, Zverev will now face Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz from Spain or the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic on Wednesday.
The game against Norrie was briefly interrupted by a spectator protest in the middle of the third set. A woman had thrown leaflets onto the pitch from the stands behind Zverev. The woman apparently wanted to use her action to draw attention to the Middle East conflict; the pieces of paper said “Free Palestine”. After a few minutes the encounter could be continued.
