ATP: Alexander Zverev goes to the China Open as number 2

For Alexander Zverev, the next tournament is coming up after his surprising retirement in Shenzhen against Damir Dzumhur with the China Open in Beijing.

It wasn’t meant to be.Germany’s best player on Facebook commented on his outing in Shenzhen against Damir Dzumhur, one of the hotter players of the last days on the ATP tour.Dzumhur is in direct succession with Zverev, the Bosnian has the native hamburger as champion of St. Stephen’s.Petersburg.Fightless, as we all know, Zverev has chosen to make a point of deserving of Team Europe’s victory in the first edition of the Laver Cup.

During the regular season, tennis, on the other hand, offers almost instant opportunities to compensate for smaller nicks or larger cuts.

The draw for the ATP World Tour 500 tournament in Beijing gave the chance to make amends the name Kyle Edmund, for the second seeded Zverev after Rafael Nadal a not unkind draw.The comparative sample could hardly be smaller, first of all Zverev and Edmund played against each other.And not even a complete match: The Briton had to give up in Nice in 2016 with equal sets.

Edmund is currently in 46th place in the world rankings, only six places behind his career high.The last appearance was from the US Open, so Edmund had a good chance to finish Denis Shapovalov’s run.However, he had to give up in the fourth set due to injury.

In addition to Nadal and Zverev, two other top ten players named Grigor Dimitrov and Pablo Carreno Busta, and interestingly Nick Kyrgios, who did not defend his title at the Tokyo parallel tournament.Tomas Berdych, one of Prague’s team-mates, is waiting for Zverev’s branch in the quarter-finals.
