On Tuesday night at the Stadthalle, Alexander Zverev saved four match points against Martin Landaluce, a 20-year-old wildcard, before finishing it in a third-set tie-break after 3 h 05. Eight aces in the whole match: the world number two called the balls \u201cincredibly slow\u201d and admitted he had played below his level. On Thursday, in the Vienna last sixteen, one more win over Tallon Griekspoor takes him to the top of the rankings on 2 November (tournament site<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner has ended his season with a knee injury, and the year-end number one spot is already guaranteed to Zverev. He plays it down, saying he does not really think about it and that Vienna is \u201cthe perfect place after Germany\u201d to get there (German press<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Two holds, long sets<\/h2>\n

Over their last ten matches, Zverev has held 90.4% of his service games, Griekspoor 85.2%. On this indoor surface with slow balls, where eight aces carried Zverev through three sets, breaks come at a premium. Their head-to-head says the same: five of their eight meetings have gone beyond two sets, and Griekspoor won the most recent of them, in Montreal in August. The tennis they produce against each other is tight, tighter than the rankings gap between the two of them.<\/p>\n
