Wimbledon 2024: Zverev and Struff advance, but disappointment for German tennis players
Alexander Zverev and Jan-Lennard Struff have won their matches and advanced to the next round of the Wimbledon Grand Slam. Meanwhile, the German women's tennis players have been eliminated. Here are the results of the German tennis professionals at Wimbledon.
Alexander Zverev cruises into the next round of the Grand Slam
German tennis professional Alexander Zverev has confirmed his impressive performance from his opening match against Spanish player Roberto Carballés Baena and managed to defeat American Marcos Giron. Zverev won comfortably in three sets, 6:2, 6:1, and 6:4, once again showcasing his precise serves and lightning-fast returns from the baseline, which Giron struggled to counter throughout the match. The match lasted only 1 hour and 34 minutes.
In the next round of the Wimbledon Grand Slam 2024, Alexander Zverev will face British player Cameron Norrie on July 6th at 12:00 PM. Zverev is the favorite in this match as well. Norrie has a mediocre record on grass this year, with only three wins in seven matches, despite defeating his compatriot Jack Draper in the last round of the tournament [English video]:
We believe that Zverev has good chances to defeat the Brit and move one step closer to the Wimbledon 2024 final. Those who wish to place bets on the duel between Zverev and Norrie can rely on the following odds provided by bookmakers:
- Alexander Zverev to win (1.17)
- Cameron Norrie to win (5.00)
Jan-Lennard Struff advances to the next round, Daniel Altmaier eliminated by Shapovalov
German tennis professional Jan-Lennard Struff has successfully completed his match in the second round of Wimbledon 2024. Struff defeated Chinese player Zhizhen Zhang in four sets, 5:7, 6:3, 7:6, and 7:6. Despite losing the first set, Struff kept his composure and demonstrated that he has a chance to reach the later rounds in grass tournaments.
In the third and fourth sets, Struff played calmly and strategically in the tiebreak, disrupting Zhang's rhythm and ultimately securing his ticket to the next round. Struff will continue his Wimbledon journey today, facing Russian player Daniil Medvedev. The bookmakers offer the following odds for this exciting encounter:
- Jan-Lennard Struff to win (2.50)
- Daniil Medvedev to win (1.53)
For Daniel Altmaier, Wimbledon 2024 is over. The German lost to Canadian Denis Shapovalov in five sets, 6:7, 3:6, 6:1, 7:6, and 4:6. Altmaier put up a great fight on Wimbledon's sacred grass but ultimately had to concede in the fifth set.
