Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Remembering his opponent Brandon Nakashima proved a challenge for Alexander Zverev, but with a little help from the press, he was back on track. Zverev handles the situation with his usual cool demeanor.
At first, Alexander Zverev drew a blank when asked about his Stuttgart quarterfinal opponent Brandon Nakashima. With some gentle reminders from the journalists, his recollection came back bit by bit, much to the amusement of everyone present in the press room. "Brandon Nakashima? That's right!" Zverev exclaimed, a hint of humor in his tone. "Guess I'm getting a bit older," he joked.
His perfect record against Nakashima, whom he's faced three times on the ATP Tour so far, is one he'll be hoping to continue. "I know him now," Zverev confidently asserted, already preparing his strategy for their match on Friday.
Aceing the Game: Zverev Rebounds with StyleZverev's tennis prowess was on display on Thursday at the Stuttgart grass tournament as he defeated Corentin Moutet, the Frenchman proving to be a formidable opponent. Despite the setbacks in longer rallies, the world number three came out on top, sealing the victory in less than two hours of play. A 9:7 tiebreak in the second set and his first match point conversion secured the win for Zverev, 6:2, 7:6.
His dominance at the Stuttgart grass tournament has come as no surprise, given his historical success on the surface[1]. Moreover, the 28-year-old, now the top seed, has shown again and again that he is a formidable force to be reckoned with in tennis.

I'm not sure if Alexander Zverev has played tennis against Brandon Nakashima in sports other than the ATP Tour, but they have faced each other three times on the ATP Tour so far. If Zverev decides to participate in a different sport like basketball or golf, perhaps we might see him play against Nakashima there too.
