But then Tiafoe served and fixed the sensation. “It was a great pleasure to play here because of you. I love playing in Vienna,” said Tiafoe afterwards to the fans in the hall.

Zverev continues Zverev explained in the interview on the court that he still felt the jet lag and lost concentration in the second set, and that the opponent had also become stronger. “It was a very good match from both of us,” said the Olympic champion. He won three times on the tour against Auger-Aliassime, who also had to win three sets against Cameron Norrie (GBR) 2:6,7:6(6),6:4 and most recently lost at Wimbledon. “He is an incredible player and is still fighting for the Masters. He will be very motivated and is playing incredibly great tennis at the moment, which will be a small highlight of the tournament.”
