Struggling Zverev Bows Out of Monte-Carlo Masters Early
- Tennis player Zverev suffers early defeat in Monte Carlo tournament.
Tennis star Alexander Zverev, rankled by a series of setbacks, saw yet another disappointment this week as he lost in the opening round of the Monte-Carlo Masters. The world No. 2, who adopted Monaco as his home, underperformed as he bowed out to Italy's Matteo Berrettini 6:2, 3:6, 5:7.
As the top seed securing a first-round bye, Zverev couldn't capitalize on his privileged position, falling to Berrettini - a former Wimbledon finalist. This loss continues a form slump for the 27-year-old, who, since his defeat in the Australian Open final, hasn't managed to advance past the quarterfinals across six tournaments.
