The Zverev engine just isn't running yet!
Sascha has to be careful here now, otherwise it could end here very quickly...

Next break against Zverev... that doesn't look good at all!

The Olympic champion finds it extremely difficult against the Argentine
Zverev - Baez, 0: 2:
Zverev is completely off the mark here!
He makes a lot of wrong decisions and is still looking for his game.
Baez is handling the conditions much, much better.
Therefore, the Argentine gets the next game.
Zverev - Baez, 0: 1:
Zverev also served at the start of the 2nd set, where he made unnecessary mistakes again.
Although he has now changed rackets, the Olympic champion has not yet found his game.
First breakball for Baez, which he gets thanks to a double fault from Zverev... Mei o mei!
1 SENTENCE
Zverev - Baez, 2: 6: Baez needed 32 minutes for the first sentence because Zverev is not yet taking place! The world number 3. must find the reset button now, otherwise it will be very, very difficult here on the Court Philippe Chatrier.
Zverev - Baez, 2: 5:
At least!
Zverev makes the point and "shortens".
But now Baez serves to win the set after less than half an hour.
Zverev - Baez, 1: 5:
Uff, bitter!
Baez handles the wind much better.
The Argentine hits his serve with no major problems.
Zverev can actually tick off sentence 1.

Zverev - Baez, 1: 4: Is that uncomfortable! Real gusts of wind sweep across the court here! Zverev is already discussing with the referee again and concedes the next break...
Zverev - Baez, 1: 3:
The Argentine serves again!
Baez is really uncomfortable to play on clay.
The former number 1 in the juniors feels like he gets every ball. That will be a very tough nut for Zverev today.
Zverev - Baez, 1: 2:
Now Zverev also gets his first game!
However, the service game from the German was anything but sovereign.
Anyway, the first point is important.
Zverev - Baez, 0: 2:
That was a little too easy now!
The Argentine holds his serve and takes a 2-0 lead.
Wake up Sasha!

Not a good start for the German number 1!
Update from May 25, 2:32 p.m .:
So, Zverev and Baez are getting used to it.
So it's about to start.
It's a bit cloudy in Paris, but fortunately not really hot.
But: it is quite windy!
In any case, let's get started.
Update from May 25, 2:13 p.m.:
Game.
Set.
Match!
Angelique Kerber fights her way into the 3rd round with her last strength.
Wow, that was hard work.
Now we can look forward to Zverev!
Update from May 25, 2:06 p.m .:
Kerber goes into the Ti-Break against Jacquemont.
So patience is still required for all Zverev fans...
Update from May 25, 1:41 p.m .:

Update from May 25, 1:08 p.m .:
Bitter!
Andrea Petkovic loses her second-hour match against Viktoria Azarenka 1: 6, 6: 7 (3: 7).
There was actually more in it for Darmstadt, but in the end it didn't work out.
Now Angelique Kerber is still in action, she is currently leading 6-1 and 2-0.
So it looks better there.
We'll have to wait a little longer for Alex Zverev.
It won't open until 1:35 p.m.
Update from May 25, 12:23 p.m .:
What does the German number 1 expect today?
Against Baez, Zverev should be challenged significantly more on the Philippe Chatrier court than at the start against Ofner.
Baez recently showed strong performances on sand, which Zverev also felt at the tournament in Rome.
His two-set win was hard-fought.
We're excited.
Update from May 25, 11:59 a.m .:
Alexander Zverev’s game against Sebastian Baez is scheduled for 1:15 p.m.
But before that, Andrea Petkovic is already in action.

Zverev challenged against underdog
First report from May 25th:
Munich/Paris – The start was promising.
Of course, Alexander Zverev can't buy anything from that at the French Open.
After his easy opening win, the third in the world rankings pulled a jacket over his muscle shirt, waved at the audience with a smile and then started joking.
"I usually start a Grand Slam tournament with five-set matches over several hours," said the best German tennis player with a grin after his 6: 2, 6: 4, 6: 4 success against the Austrian qualifier Sebastian Ofner at the start in Paris : "But Sergi forbade me to do that."
His coach Sergi Bruguera laughed in the stands and was just as happy with the dominant start as Zverev himself. "I hope I can play my best tennis here and do something special," Zverev added.
What is meant is the first major title that he is still waiting for.
Bruguera, on the other hand, has two in his vita that he tells him about every day.

played.
There the German number one prevailed in the second round after initial difficulties with 7:6 (8:6), 6:3.
