Zverev then used his first match point at 8-7, again an unnecessary mistake by Sinner was the deciding factor.
Fifteenth win in a row
It was Zverev’s 15th consecutive win. “Tennis players who have played many matches in recent months gain confidence and make the right choices under pressure,” explained last year’s losing finalist of his strong period.
Zverev will face Lloyd Harris in the next round. The 24-year-old South African (ATP-46) got rid of the American Reilly Opelka (ATP-24) with remarkable ease: 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.
It is Harris’ first quarterfinal place in a Grand Slam tournament.
