Stats-wise, it was fairly shut, but it surely appears to be like as if Zverev nonetheless hasn’t received that confidence in his recreation, particularly on the larger factors.

Cerundolo now faces Miami champion Jakub Mensik within the quarter-finals.

I’m tremendous joyful as a result of I do know he loves taking part in right here. He advised me final yr after I beat him. He’s an unbelievable participant. I’ve an incredible relationship with him, so tremendous joyful to get one other win and to be within the quarter-finals once more. This yr I discovered to play unhealthy and win matches. I gained the capability to win taking part in not my greatest tennis, I’m tremendous proud of what I’m doing throughout this yr. Cerundolo on his win.
