Zverev wins in four sets against Paul at the Australian Open

Alexander Zverev advanced to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on Tuesday, beating Tommy Paul 7-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-1.

Zverev has the distinction of having won the first two sets while Paul served each time to win the set.

This is his thirtieth victory at the Australian Open, and becomes the most successful German player of the Open era, overtaking Boris Becker who was at 29.

In a post-match interview, he said: “I love the night sessions, I feel the ball so well.

I made a request to play at night, but it was quickly refused.

I get it, Carlos versus Novak, this is going to be a great match. »

The German will play his ninth Grand Slam semi-final, facing Carlos Alcaraz or Novak Djokovic.
