Alexander Zverev eased past Arthur Fery in straight sets at Wimbledon, 7-6(?), 6-2, 6-4, powered by a dominant serve and ruthless return game. Zverev hit 9 aces and won 78% of first-serve points, converting 4 of 5 break opportunities while saving his only break point faced.
The first set was the tightest, with an early trade of breaks – Zverev broke for 3-1 only for Fery to level at 3-2 – before Zverev captured the tiebreak. In the second set, Zverev broke twice, first at 2-1 and again at 4-1, racing through 6-2. The third set saw Zverev break decisively at 3-2 and hold comfortably to close out the match.
Zverev's return stats were exceptional: he won 44 receiver points to Fery's 16, and his second-serve points won stood at 80% overall, including a perfect 6/6 in the final set. Fery, despite saving 4 of 8 break points and landing 85% of first serves in the third set, could not withstand Zverev's pressure on return.
