Compulsory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imgon Picture 20 Seed Francisco Cerendolo on Tuesday dismissed Germany’s top seed Alexander Zerev 7-5, 6-3 to proceed to the quarter-finals of Madrid Open.
Cerundolo defeated Zerev for the second consecutive year in a round of 16 at this ATP Masters 1000 event. He is 3–0 against Zeverev, including a quarterfinal win over Buenos Aires before this season.
“I am super happy because I know he likes to play here. He told me last year when I defeated him,” Sarendolo said after the match. “He is an incredible player. I have a great relationship with him, so Super Happy to win another win and live again in the quarter -finals.”
Cendolo won 50 of its 70 total service points (71.4 percent) and went to 7 -for -7 on the NET points. Zverev managed only six winners with 23 unexpected errors.
After ending Zeverev’s seven -match winning line, Serendollo’s next task will face check number 22 Seed Jakub Mannenic, which is on a nine -match winning line for his ATP 1000 title in Miami last month.
