The last match of the day at ATP Shanghai 2024 left us, as yesterday, with a three-set thriller filled with great tennis and a healthy dose of drama. Alexander Zverev overcame the tough challenge of Tallon Griekspoor and advanced to the round of 16 after a very close match that was decided in the third set tiebreak (7-6(6), 2-6, 7-6(5)). The Dutchman saved three match points with 5-6 and 0-40 against him, all thanks to big first serves; he did the same in the tiebreak, turning it around from 2-6 to 5-6 against him... and there, when he had everything to level the match, he missed an easy volley which sealed his fate. Sascha needed seven match points and continues to give his all after a long season, now set to face David Goffin in the round of 16.
