Keeping it 💯 @AlexZverev defeats de Minaur 6-3 7-6(5) to reach the Rome QFs - completing a century of wins at Masters 1000 level! #IBI22
Alexander Zverev is through to the Rome Masters quarterfinal after battling past Alex De Minaur in straight sets 6-3 7-6(5).
The German was spectacular in the first set taking the ball really early and attacking De Minaur. Zverev took an early 3-0 lead thanks to some strong play and he kept up a very high level for the next few games as well. De Minaur did not play that well and he fell behind 1-5. The German then gifted him a lifeline with a poor serving game and De Minaur was able to make the score more respectable.
Overall the German was still able to pull through in the first set. Now the 2nd set is where we saw a good battle between the players. Zverev once again jumped out to an early lead because de Minaur was unable to produce his best tennis. Zverev then did his thing by complicating the match without any reason by missing a few easy forehands and making a double on break point.
de Minarur consolidate for a few moments but had to fight off break points at 4-4. He then lost his serve at 5-5 giving Zverev the 6-5 leading seemingly ending the match but he then complicated things even more by losing his serve. The tiebreak was interesting but for the most part, Zverev had the upper hand and he finished it off with 7-5. A good win for the German considering how much he complicated things.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
