Alexander Zverev takes Andalucia Open wild card and then withdraws
ATPSaturday, 03 April 2021 at 19:15
The inaugural Andalucia Open takes place next week in Marbella, starting the European clay swing alongside Sardegna Open in Cagliari, offering an excellent chance for the clay-courters to seek the title.
After an early Miami Open loss, world no. 7 Alexander Zverev decided to take a wild card and seek form and victories ahead of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 event. The Club de Tennis Puente Romano organizers signed a one-year deal with the ATP and were thrilled to have the three-time Masters 1000 champion in the draw.
Andrey Rublev, Roberto Bautista Agut and Stan Wawrinka had withdrawn in the previous days, and Alexander did the same on Saturday, deciding to change his plans and take a week off ahead of Monte Carlo. The German will become world no. 6 next week, passing Roger Federer and hoping for a strong run on the slowest surface in the next couple of months.
Alexander has won nine matches in 2021, four of those at the Australian Open before Novak Djokovic beat him in four tight sets. The German suffered an early Rotterdam loss before raising his level in Acapulco to take the 14th ATP crown and secure at least one ATP title for the sixth consecutive year.
