Alexander Zverev Cruises into Halle Open Last 16 Amid Mid-Match Scare

Posted : 18 June 2025

World number three Alexander Zverev continued his strong start to the grass-court season by easing past American Marcos Giron in straight sets to reach the last 16 at the Halle Open on Wednesday. The German, a two-time finalist at the tournament and Tokyo Olympic gold medallist, delivered a clinical performance in the 6-2, 6-1 victory, breaking Giron four times in just under an hour.

 

However, the match was briefly interrupted by a frightening moment in the stands when an advertising board fell and struck a spectator. Zverev immediately halted play to assist, handing an ice pack into the crowd for the injured individual, who was later applauded by fans as he was helped from the venue. The incident did not disrupt Zverev’s rhythm, as he quickly regained focus and closed out the match with authority.

 

Zverev will next face Italian Lorenzo Sonego in the round of 16 as he aims to build momentum ahead of Wimbledon. The German is seeking a deep run at Halle after a quarterfinal finish at the French Open earlier this month, where he lost in four sets to Casper Ruud.

 

Meanwhile, fellow top seed Jannik Sinner made a winning return on Tuesday following his French Open final loss, dispatching Yannick Hanfmann in straight sets. The world number one will face defending Halle champion Alexander Bublik in what promises to be a closely contested last-16 clash on Thursday.
