If there has been a player on the ATP circuit immersed in the controversy of the schedules that usually flies over the Mutua Madrid Open 2024that is Alexander Zverev. It is impossible to forget the enormous difference in time and preparation that he had, for example, before the 2022 final against Carlos Alcaraz: he always played in the night session and finished several of his matches very late. It seemed that the new ATP rules would save us from finding ourselves in a similar situation, but it seems that the Madrid night and Sascha are destined to meet. Once again, Zverev left his mark in a duel against Denis Shapovalov that ended after midnight and that allows him to reach the round of 16 in Madrid (6-4, 7-5)where he will meet Francisco Cerúndolo.
Results of the day (third round matches):
- Tallon Greek Spoor (24) p. Holger Rune (11) 6-4, 4-6, 6-3
- Jan-Lennard Struff (23) d. Hugo Humbert (13) 7-5, 6-4
