PARIS : Third seed Alexander Zverev battled nerves and an erratic serve to beat Spain's Bernabe Zapata Miralles 7-6 7-5 6-3 on Sunday and move into the French Open last eight.
"He was driving me nuts," Zverev said."He is one of the fastest players. I felt every return was put on the baseline." The 25-year-old Zverev, long touted as a potential Grand Slam winner, twice broke the 131st-ranked Spaniard, who had never made it past round two in a Grand Slam prior to Paris, to charge 4-1 in front.
Zverev was 4-1, 40-0 up on his own serve but baseliner Zapata Miralles launched a comeback, dragging the rallies out and battling back to break the German twice before wasting three set points in the tiebreak.
