NEW YORK: Fifth seed Alexander Zverev fought off a spirited challenge from American wildcard Brandon Nakashima to claim a 7-5 6-7 6-3 6-1 victory in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday.
Zverev was on the front foot from the start against Nakashima but failed to convert any of his first three break point opportunities in the fifth game. Nakashima, who is coached by 1987 Wimbledon champion Pat Cash, earned two set points in the second with a delicate drop shot but a lapse in concentration allowed Zverev to recover and force a tiebreak.Despite taking a 5-0 lead, Nakashima needed a further five set points and a Zverev double fault to level the contest.
