No.4-seeded Alexander Zverev was tested in sets two and three of his 6-1, 7-6(5), 7-5 over Thomas Fabbiano of Italy, but never more than during this point midway through the third set.

Fabbiano’s backhand clips the line but Zverev and Fabbiano get together at the net to make absolutely sure.

Nothing like a little levity in the heat of battle. Zverev advances to the second round to face the Peter Gojowczyk-Mikhail Kukushkin winner.
