CINCINNATI, Aug 19 — Olympic champion Alexander Zverev struck gold at the ATP Cincinnati Masters on Wednesday with his first victory at the US Open tuneup event in seven attempts.
But that all changed as Zverev celebrated success with a 7-6 , 6-2 win over South African Lloyd Harris to break his duck. “It made me a little nervous at the beginning of the match, I have to say, because it is a special feeling.”Top seed Daniil Medvedev, last week’s Toronto champion, also advanced in a no-drama 6-2, 6-2 defeat of American Mackenzie McDonald that took just an hour for the 2019 Cincinnati champion.
Murray fired a respectable 11 aces to the 17 of his ninth-seeded opponent in the first-time meeting while saving four break points.
