NEW DELHI: Alexander Zverev, the fourth seed, comfortably advanced to the second round of Wimbledon on Tuesday with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 win over Roberto Carballes Baena, taking a step closer to his goal of securing his first Grand Slam title.
Despite Carballes Baena's determined effort, the Spaniard, ranked 60 spots below Zverev, struggled to counter the German's forceful serve and potent forehand, reported Reuters.
Carballes Baena managed to save three break points in the opening game but eventually conceded the break in the fifth game. Zverev secured another break before clinching the set in just over half an hour.
Zverev's serve, averaging around 125 miles per hour and producing 18 aces, proved to be a formidable weapon against Carballes Baena.
The fifth game of the second set saw Carballes Baena broken once more after an exhausting rally that had him running from one side of the court to the other.
Despite the London crowd's attempts to rally behind the underdog, Zverev closed out the set.
In the third set, Zverev broke immediately, but Carballes Baena fought back, forcing the German to save three break points.
However, this only provided an opportunity for Zverev to surge ahead and secure the victory, having reached the final at the French Open last month.
