The Court 2 grandstands were pretty crowded on this Tuesday afternoon. No wonder: after all, the number three in the world in singles, Alexander Zverev, was on one side of the net. In addition to buddy Marcelo Melo, mind you, with whom he had already played in Acapulco. However, the draw had provided two French opponents with an outstanding CV.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut have won all four majors together at least once in their careers. However, the two had no order against Zverev and Melo. In the end it was 5:7 and 4:6 from Herbert/Mahut's point of view. Zverev and Melo are already in the quarterfinals, where they meet either Brkic/Cacic or Arevalo/Rojer.

On the other hand, Alexander Zverev has not yet intervened in the individual game. That will happen tomorrow. Zverev plays against Federico Delbonis, against whom he has won the two previous encounters. Albeit tight.
On the Rainier III court, the French fans also had little to celebrate in the early matches on Tuesday: Benjamin Bonzi initially lost to Briton Dan Evans 0:6 and 6:7 (4). Then Lorenzo Musetti prevailed against Benoit Paire 6: 2, 6: 7 (4) and 6: 2.
