Sock has to give up: ZVEREV stands in the second round of the US Open

Sock, who has always been a big talent, but too unstable played and also had been thrown back from injury in recent years, went to the start thanks to a wildcard in New York. He now paid the trust in him with one of the best sentences of the tournament.

Sock put against Zverev, against which he had a positive balance (2: 1), go like the fire department. The 28-year-old American played in the first sentence like someone who comes from another star and won the passage then highly deserved with 6: 3 - Zverev had only an intortable mistake in the sentence and still had no order. I have not seen anything so my life yet, Zverev said after the match at the winner's interview.

Sock is injured

SiegelinterView? Yes, because the German was ultimately through, but also benefited from a violation of his opponent who had taken problems with the thigh and immediately after his famous sentence win a Medical Timeout. Sock no longer ran around in the second sentence, was almost open - and ZVEREV clearly loose after sentences (6: 2).

The third passage was again slightly open, socks painkillers seemed apparently, the outsider could never demand Zverev no longer seriously, even if he had gathered the entire audience behind him as Local Hero.

ZVEREV kept in the hex chamber Arthur Ashe cool head and also got the third set with 6: 3. In the fourth threw sock at the stand of 1: 2 against themselves the towel. Zverev's journey in New York continues after the success - and his dream of the first Grand Slam title of his career lives away.

Now sinner is waiting

In the eighth finale, Deutsche Number 1 meets Jannik Sinner, who had claimed in a five-sentence thriller against Gael Monfil. ZVEREV already promised the audience an interesting match against the Italian.

For the German tennis, the tournament is already extremely successful, as in addition to Zverev Peter Gojowczyk and Oscar Otte are among the last 16. This was the last time in Wimbledon in 1997 - at that time with Boris Becker, Michael Stich and Nicolas Pine. For the ladies Angelique Kerber is in the second round.
