Alexander Zverev faced his good friend Dominic Thiem at the Diriyah Cup beating him in two short sets 10-8 10-7.
The event is played in a unique format with the sets going on until a player reaches the 10th point. Zverev was drawn against Thiem and it was the first match they played in a good while with the German admitting it would be a good experience.
It was a good experience indeed as he looked comfortable as ever in the victory. Making it back to tennis while feeling 100 % was always the goal for Zverev and he made it happen. The first set went 10-8 to the German as he was able to keep winning points on his serve.
The second was even more impressive as he won it 10-7 to move on to the quarter-finals of the event.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
