Alexander Zverev completes sensational comeback against Otte at Roland-Garros

Alexander Zverev lost the first two sets but won the next three to complete the comeback against Oscar Otte at the Roland Garros.

It was a sensational display from Zverev in the final three sets of his 1st round matchup versus Oscar Otte whom he defeated 3-6 3-6 6-2 6-2 6-0. Zverev played bad tennis the first two sets against an opponent who played without pressure. Otte did not think much and that sort of style won him the first two sets with 6-3 against an uninspired Zverev.
