Breadstick and bagel as Zverev reaches Bastad quarter-final with thumping win over Monteiro

Alexander Zverev enjoyed a very straightforward win as he moved through to the quarter-finals in Bastad, beating Thiago Monteiro 6-1, 6-0 in one hour.

He won 79 per cent of points on Monteiro’s first serve.

And it was significantly less complicated than the German’s previous match, against Alex Molcan, which he won 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.

The pair had faced each other last year in the Davis Cup, with Zverev winning that 6-1, 7-5.

This will be Zverev’s fifth tour quarter-final of the year.
