The 22-year-old has bounced back splendidly at the year's first Grand Slam, where he has not lost a set as he advanced to the fourth round for the second straight time.

MELBOURNE - Seventh seed Alexander Zverev credited a stress-free life off court for his strong run at the Australian Open after marching into the fourth round with a 6-2 6-2 6-4 win over Spanish veteran Fernando Verdasco on Saturday.

But the 22-year-old has bounced back splendidly at the year's first Grand Slam, where he has not lost a set as he advanced to the fourth round for the second straight time. Zverev was once considered one of the leading 'Next Gen' contenders to break the Grand Slam hegemony of Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer who have shared the last 12 majors between them.

He did have three double faults against Verdasco at the Margaret Court Arena but also served 15 aces while hitting 34 winners in the match.
