Last night, Beijing time, the final round of the final group stage began.
In a battle of focus on qualifying, former tournament champion and third-seeded Zverev played seventh-seeded Hulkach.
In this match, the Poles must win, but also have to hope for the next match between Medvedev and Sina, the former can win the game, so that it is possible to qualify.
However, after the opening, Hulkach was completely out of shape, and soon lost the first two serves, trailing behind with a large score of 0-4. Although he was able to barely save his serve after falling behind 1-5, the 2-6 defeat in the first set was still a bit unexpected.
Of course, Hulkach was more or less affected by his own body in his competitive state.
Yibian fought again, and the situation improved. The Pole began a bottom-line confrontation with Zverev, but he still failed to seize the opportunity.
At the time of the 4-3 lead, coming to Zverev's serve, the Poles took a 30-0 lead, and if they could break the opponent's serve, they would then enter their own serve to win the set, and the situation would be quite favorable.
However, the Germans showed their excellent psychological quality at this time, scoring four points in a row and successfully maintaining their hair. Unpacked, Hulkach was broken by Zverev in his own unavoidable serve.
The Germans didn't want to waste such a good chance, won the game on the serve and won the game.
Half won the game after a good start, and in this game, Hulkac was unstable at the beginning, so it led to a passive situation in the game.
When the key moment encountered a break opportunity, that tone did not resist, and when he could not take down the opponent, he let the tiger return to the mountain, resulting in a big mistake.
Admittedly, his opponent Zverev has been a finalist for the tournament for four consecutive years and has won the tournament. Hulkach is still only a fledgling compared to him, so it is reasonable to lose.
The Three-Game Loser is certainly uncomfortable, but it's rare that he can play like this against today's hard court top three Djokovic and Zverev.
It's just a pity that the most crucial battle with Sina, he did not reproduce the scene of the Miami Masters final, and completed the opponent's record.
Zverev will play Djokovic again in the semi-finals, which will be another big match between the two this year. The winner will probably play Medvedev again in the final, and it remains to be seen who will die! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
