Zverev satisfied
Despite the difficulties, Zverev was overall satisfied with his performance in the end. “I’m just glad I gave us the chance to reach the semi-finals”said the world number three. The 24-year-old missed three match balls in a row against Fritz, a crashing ace through the middle with the second serve finally meant the decision on the sixth opportunity after just under an hour and a half.
Previously, Struff had survived 31 aces of the 2.08 meter tall veteran Isner. The Warsteiner used his third match point against the serve of the 36-year-old for the first victory over Isner. “It’s always difficult against John. I’ve played against him four times and lost four times. That’s why I’m very happy to have won for my team today.”said the 31-year-old Struff.
Thursday against Canada
The German team had to get their first win after the opening defeat against Great Britain in order to have a chance of winning the group in Season C. Only the first placed in the four groups reach the semi-finals. The last German opponent this Thursday is Canada, which will meet the British earlier this Tuesday. In addition to its own success at the end, the German selection is also dependent on a slip by Great Britain.
