First set: Zverev* 2-3 Jódar (*next server)
Zverez goes up 0-15 when Jódar goes wayward with a forehand but the Spaniard battles back gamely to make 30-15. A piercing early backhand from Zverev makes it 30-30 and we have our first sniff of danger for Jódar. An unforced error from Jódar gives Zverev his first break point but a loose forehand, loopy and long, from the German is a gift to get back to deuce. Zverev gets another break chance when Jódar goes long with a cross court backhand, but a steely second serve and follow-up backhand see off the danger. Zverev can only find the net with his return on the next point and Jódar escapes with hold after wicked approach pins his opponent on the baseline.
