In his 70th tour-level match this season, Alexander Zverev defeated #NextGenATP American Frances Tiafoe 6-4, 6-4 at the Rolex Paris Masters on Wednesday.
The fourth-seeded German, who captured his third ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophy in Madrid this year, advanced after one hour and 44 minutes, saving eight of 10 break points en route to victory. The 21-year old, now 30-11 in tour-level hard-court matches this season, improves to 3-1 in his FedEx ATP Head2Head series against Tiafoe.
Delray Beach Open champion Tiafoe will now travel to Milan as he prepares to make his debut at the Next Gen ATP Finals, from 6-10 November. Nitto ATP Finals qualifier Zverev awaits the winner of Feliciano Lopez and Diego Schwartzman for a spot in the quarter-finals.
Grigor Dimitrov reached the third round in the French capital for the sixth straight year, beating Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6(10), 6-4. The 2017 Nitto ATP Finals champion was forced to save three set points in a 22-point first-set tie-break before claiming victory after one hour and 36 minutes.
Dimitrov, who is working with former World No. 1 Andre Agassi this week, will meet Marin Cilic in the third round. The 27-year-old trails Cilic 1-3 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series.
