Zverev beaten embarrassed! Half -final lost again in Halle!

In the semi -finals of the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle/Westphalia, Alexander Zverev had to accept another setback. The 26-year-old German lost to the Russian player Daniil Medvedev 6: 7 (3: 7), 7: 6 (7: 1), 4: 6. The rapid game, which lasted almost three hours, brought the fourth defeat in a row to Medvedev for Zverev, with which he continues to wait for his first lawn title. Before the encounter, Zverev had recovered from a nausea that had previously forced him off the pitch in his quarter-final game against Flavio Cobolli.

as far as Zverev's pitch strand with Medvedev, he showed himself as a strong power pack during the game and used his fifth match ball for victory after winning the first set tie-break with 7: 3. Although the German fought in the second set and decided to do it, he had to watch in the crucial third set how Medledew took the surcharge. Zverev could not use four break balls, which ultimately denied the ticket to the final.

The numerous challenges on the way to a professional and the pressure during international tournaments require extensive support, both physically and mentally.
