ZVEREV NOT SPARED OF UPSET AXE, FALLS TO BERRETTINI

Zverev was also not spared of the upset axe, as he joined Djokovic in the sidelines.

“I wasn’t hitting my forehand and serve like I had in previous days,” said Berretini, winner of 17 of his last 18 claycourt matches.

“I told myself to be more aggressive,” he added.

DRAPER EASES TO THIRD ROUND

Draper avoided the upset axe after he pulled off a 6-1 6-1 victory over Marcos Giron.

Furthermore, the 23-year-old British player made short work of his opponent despite coming off a first-round bye.
