French Open champion Alexander Zverev insists his aim of a first deep run at Wimbledon depends purely on himself, despite being in a wide-open half of the men’s draw.
The world number three came through a testing four-set battle with Belgian debutant Alexander Blockx in the opening round, winning 6-4, 6-7 (8/10), 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/0) on Centre Court and will next face France’s Valentin Royer.
Zverev clinched his long-awaited maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open earlier this month after several near-misses, taking full advantage of shock early exits for Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic.
