Should there be a home win in the individual in HalleWestfalen in 2021, then all hopes rest on Philipp Kohlschreiber. Because Alexander Zverev was eliminated in the round of 16 of the traditional ATP Tour 500 tournament against Ugo Humbert. An intermediate sprint in the second movement was of little use to the Hamburg native. Zverev lost 6: 7 (4), 6: 3, and 3: 6. Humbert plays in the quarterfinals against Sebastian Korda, who beat Kei Nishikori in a three-set marathon.
On Wednesday, after his defeat by Marcos Giron, Jan-Lennard Struff said he had to learn what Alexander Zverev can do: namely to offer successful tennis again immediately after a successful Grand Slam tournament. In Halle, Zverev had initially managed to do this against Dominik Koepfer, even if he had to make a sentence. But Humbert held up well and repeatedly took command in the rallies.
After losing a set in the tie-break, Zverev made an early break at the beginning of round two, which he took in front of the Augo of father Alexander sr. and Physio brought Hugo Gravil to the finish line with some degree of certainty to equalize sentences. The game was reversed in the decision: this time it was left-handed Humbert who gained the first advantage. And no longer gave up.
