A successful start to the tennis year 2022!
Alexander Zverev (24) defeated world number 12 at the ATP tournament in Sydney. Cameron Norrie (26) from England clearly in two sets with 7: 6 and 6: 1.
With the victory of our Olympic champion, the German team still has a chance of overall success. Before that, Jan-Lennard Struff had surprisingly lost his game against Englishman Daniel Evans 1: 6, 2: 6.
At the end there is the doubles – with a surprising cast!
Unlike expected, Zverev also competes in the all-important double. Just minutes after winning the singles! He replaces the dual specialist Tim Pütz at short notice. With Kevin Krawietz, Zverev gets to do with Evans and Jamie Murray. HERE go to the live ticker.
The other German opponents in the preliminary round are Canada and the USA. The four winners from the four groups of four reach the semi-finals. The tennis professionals prepare for the Australian Open with the team event. The first Grand Slam tournament of the season starts on January 17th in Melbourne. The world number three, Zverev, has set itself the goal of winning his first title there in one of the four most important tennis tournaments.
