Here is the match in the live ticker to read!
Zverev and Ofner had to wait a long time before they were allowed to start their first round game. After that it went fairly quickly. Especially at the beginning when Alexander Zverev was the more solid, powerful player. Especially with his serve. Sebastian Ofner had fought his way through the qualification, but he only knew how to use this match practice against Zverev later in the game.
However, without endangering the Olympic champion in Tokyo in his 6: 2, 6: 4 and 6: 4. Zverev didn't allow a single breakball throughout the game.
But Ofner didn't simply give up his service games either. For example, when the score was 3: 3 in the third round, when the Styrian fended off three break opportunities in a sometimes spectacular way. Ofner was no longer able to counter the fourth chance, and Zverev couldn't let the advantage be taken away. Even if Ofner parried his opponent's first three match points when the score was 3:5 in the third act.
In the second round, the winner of the match between Sebastian Baez and Dusan Lajovic is now waiting for number three of the French Open 2022. Zverev only played against Baez a few days ago in Rome, against Lajovic he has won all four matches so far. In 2018 and 2019, however, the Serb Zverev made a fifth set in Roland Garros.
