Amazing match, lots of come backs, drop shots and rallies, both players gave their best! Cobolli had an injury I think, made more difficult to defend his game in the end, but still he challenged Zverev to the maximum.
yes, what a crazy match, both went beyond their limits I think.
That's crazy, I was a kid in Germany when Becker was big, and though his career was not as long lived as Steffi Graff's it always seemed like there was another German ready to take the reigns right around the corner. I can't believe it's been 30 years.
