Alexander Zverev registered an impressive start at Wimbledon
2023 as he secured a thumping win.
The world number 21 secured a straight-set victory against
Netherlands’ Gijs Brouwer in London on Thursday with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 7-6.
Zverev was dominating from the beginning as he secured the
first set rather comfortably, producing 14 winners in the process.
The second set went all the way down to the tiebreak as neither player lost a service game but the 2020 US Open finalist eventually came out on top. While
doing that, Zverev won 81 percent of points on the first serve.
The third set, just like second, was decided on the tiebreak as Zverev produced 16 winners in the process.
The result will be a major boost for the German tennis star
who is yet to deliver the goods at Wimbledon. This remains the only Grand Slam
where he has never played beyond the fourth-round stage.
His best outing at Wimbledon came in 2017 and in 2021 as on
both occasions, he was knocked out after suffering defeats in the fourth round.
In 2017, Zverev lost to Canada’s Milos Raonic in the round
of 16 with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 which ended his journey in the
competition.
Two years ago, the Hamburg-born lost to Canada’s Felix
Auger-Aliassime in the fourth-round clash with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 3-6, 3-6,
6-4.
