ATP Vienna 2025: Zverev survives in a new thriller

Alexander Zverev is one of the top favorites for the title at the ATP Vienna 2025, but his first battle in the Austrian capital was far from dominant. With the ups and downs that characterize his recent months, the German had to draw inspiration and display his best tennis against a truly solid Jacob Fearnley (6-4, 1-6, 7-6(5)). Despite a lackluster second set, Sascha showcased brilliant tennis in the final tiebreak, frequently approaching the net and putting an end to what could have been, otherwise, the big surprise of the day.

Matches of the day (all first round):

• Filip Misolic (WC) d. Camilo Ugo Carabelli 7-5, 7-6(6)
• Cameron Norrie d. Andrey Rublev (7) 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-2
• Tomás Etcheverry d. Nikolai Budkov Kjaer 6-3, 6-3
• Fran Cerúndolo d. Alex Michelsen 6-3, 6-1
• Lorenzo Musetti (4) d. Hamad Medjedovic (LL) 6-4, 6-3
