Zverev Faces Another Quarter-Final Defeat in Rio
February 22, 2025 - 18:11
In a surprising turn of events, Australian Open finalist Alexander Zverev experienced a disappointing exit from the quarter-finals at the Rio de Janeiro tournament. The top seed was unable to capitalize on a significant lead in the third set, ultimately losing to Argentine Francisco Comesana with a final score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Zverev started strong, taking a commanding 4-1 lead in the deciding set. However, Comesana displayed remarkable resilience and determination, rallying back to win five consecutive games, securing a stunning victory on Friday night. This marks Zverev's second consecutive quarter-final loss in South America, as he had previously fallen to another Argentine player, Francisco Cerundolo, in Buenos Aires the week before.
The German star's inability to close out matches has raised questions about his current form as he looks to regain his footing on the ATP tour. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Zverev responds in upcoming tournaments.
