Germany's second seed, Zverev

"Usually I drag it until the fifth set and play 7-6 to make everyone happy. But I'm older, so I have to cut it down a bit. Zverev, who won in straight sets in just one hour and 54 minutes, amused the crowd at Laver Centre Court with his witty remarks after the match, "I hope there will be more matches in the next few rounds, I like to play night matches here, and I feel that the atmosphere is better in the evening." Whenever I get the chance to come here and participate in a night fight, I make the most of it. ”

Zverev made a comeback last year to win the ATP 1,000-point Masters in Rome and Paris, returning to a new career-high ranking to reach No. 2 in the world and continuing to seek to become the first German man to win a Grand Slam title since Becker won the Australian Open in 1996, before facing Britain's Feinley.
