There has been an upset on the opening day of the Japan Open with Alexander Zverev being dumped out at the opening hurdle by Jordan Thompson.
It was a 6-3, 6-4 win for Thompson with it being very much the game of missed opportunities for the German.
He had three break point chances in the opening game, but couldn’t seal any of them and Thompson then used his in game four and it also handed the Aussie the set later on after a game point remained unused.
Zverev led 2-0 in the second set, but the momentum was soon reversed as Thompson broke back. He then broke again in the ninth and held serve for victory.
Technically now, this is a blow for Zverev as he looks for ATP Finals qualification and also was a third consecutive first round exit after Beijing and Shanghai. Back to the drawing board.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
