Zoned-In Zverev Eases Past Dimitrov In Cincinnati
In a battle of former Western & Southern Open champions, it was Alexander Zverev who roused his best level Tuesday in Cincinnati.
The 16th-seeded German downed Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-2 to extend his winning streak at the ATP Masters 1000 in Ohio to six matches. Zverev needed little time to reacquaint himself with the centre court at the Lindner Family Tennis Center on his first appearance there since his 2021 title run, converting four of eight break points he earned against Dimitrov for a 72-minute win.
It was Zverev’s first hard-court win against a Top 20 opponent in four attempts this season. His reward for downing the World No. 19 Dimitrov, who won the title in Cincinnati in 2017, is a second-round encounter with Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka.
