Wimbledon 2024: Alexander Zverev Shines, Andrey Rublev Falls In First Round

PIF ATP Live Rankings: Alexander Zverev led a strong show at Wimbledon on Tuesday, though World No. 6 Andrey Rublev became the highest-ranked player to exit the tournament so far. Fourth-seeded Zverev delivered a commanding performance on No. 1 Court, dispatching Roberto Carballes Baena 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the second round for the seventh time in eight appearances. The German showcased his powerful game with 46 winners, including 18 aces, making a statement in his opening match at an event where he has yet to reach the quarterfinals.

“First rounds are never easy, but I’m happy with how I started the tournament,” Zverev said in his on-court interview. “I want to compete, I want to do well here at Wimbledon. It’s the most historic tennis tournament that we have. I’ve struggled over the years here on these beautiful courts, unfortunately, but I feel different this year. I feel somehow very much more into it, very much more alive on these courts, and hopefully, I can show that in the next few matches.”

With his one-hour, 53-minute triumph against Carballes Baena, Zverev set up a second-round clash with either Marcos Giron or home wild card Henry Searle. Zverev is now 12-2 for the year in Grand Slam matches, having reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and the final at Roland Garros.
