The match began with an easy game to win by both players, before Zverev took advantage of doubts in the team’s service to break through in the third game 2: 1.

Several games followed, in which the passer easily took the games. The second serious blow was inflicted by Zverev in 4: 2. Then, with Team’s serve, the German felt his moment of attack again and with his powerful game in the back of the court forced the Team to take risks and return to to make mistakes. Thus, Zverev still managed to lead with two breakthroughs.

In his service game to close the part, Zverev again showed great forehand combinations, as well as well-prepared outings at the net, which the team simply couldn’t handle. Thus, the German took the set with 6: 2.

The second set started in exactly the same way as the first part. The two traded a service game, but again the team had to suffer for theirs, while Zverev took his pass with incredible ease.

In the third game, the strong German sped up again and with a mixture of spikes and errors from his Austrian opponent made a new lead by 2: 1. Zverev had a much more difficult next game with his serve, but his thunderous serves and his good starts just didn’t give the team peace, making the score 3: 1.

New York’s center court defeat continued in full force in the fifth game. After two more points, Zverev continued his patient play from the back of the court to lead 4: 1 after another inaccuracy from his Austrian opponent.

Zverev returned to take his pass literally in one go and forced the team to serve to stay in the second half. However, the Austrian was still unable to respond to his opponent’s measured aggressiveness, and the game went through a whirlwind of draws at 40:40. In the end, the world number 3 became fashionable and achieved a score of 5: 2.

However, for the first time on his passing early in the match, Zverev allowed hesitation, missing a relatively comfortable volley on his setball. The team managed to bite from there and break by 5: 3. In the next game, the Austrian was inspired and won to 0 to force his opponent to take the set again. This time Zverev allowed no surprises and closed the set – 6: 4.

The beginning of the third set was a true déjà vu of the second part. The two took their first games with relative ease, before the Austrian’s second service game turned into a major battle. He reflected two points for a breakthrough at 3:40 p.m., but mistakes in the team’s game took over and after two more horrible ones, Zverev scored for 2: 1.

The next game also turned out to be very crucial. Zverev allowed two break points on his serve, but in both cases the team hit the wrong side of the field for one out. Two more break points followed, and from the fourth attempt, the Austrian tennis player managed to return the advance and return to the game.

The two entered the channel of exchanged service games and despite some doubts, the players held steady to bring the score to 4: 4. However, at 5: 4, Team stepped on the gas. Zverev served to stay, but his hand was definitely too tight and after some hard plays he reached two break points. The first was made by Team after a very stiff forehand from their German opponent and thus the match entered the 4th set.

The improvement in the team’s game continued at the beginning of the 4th half, when the Austrian took his first two games with great ease, while Zverev also managed to keep up, but the change of dynamics in the match was felt more and more. However, the result was equal to 3: 2 in favor of the Team at the beginning.

In the sixth game of the set, Zverev was the one who had to reflect serious danger. The team reached two break points, which, however, were reflected after the great services of the great German tennis player. They rallied until the end of the game and tied at 3: 3 before the team showed composure with a game at 15 for 4: 3.

Zverev’s nerves remained extremely tense and in the next game he exploded violently again. After quickly reaching 40:30 and a point to earn his pass, the giant failed to overcome the Austrian’s strong defense and after a series of unprovoked errors gave up his pass and left Team to take the set. The world No. 3 was unfazed, earning his pass to 0 to score the match in set number 5.

And Zverev’s free fall continued in the first game of the fifth set. Seemingly influenced by Tim Zverev’s turn, he made mistake after mistake, including three hits in a row, to take his Austrian opponent a big step forward. However, Team was quick to return the gesture, double failing at a break point in the second game to make the score 1: 1.

The two tennis players re-entered a stable pace of their passing, so the result could reach 3: 2 for Zverev. In the sixth game, Team started badly, losing 0:30, but with some great performances it turned things around and didn’t give Zverev any more points.

What Zvereev couldn’t do in game 6, he did in this low №8. After taking the pass by 4: 3, the German tennis player showed an exceptionally offensive face and put heavy pressure on the Team in their service game. It was 30:40 and then Zverev came back into the net in the match, this time forcing the Austrian to make a mistake with the passing shot, and the imprecision meant 5: 3 and a chance for Zverev to get the game out.

However, as in the entire crash, the German’s nerves were not completely stable. He started out strong, falling into a 15:40 situation. After saving a game of pain on their second attempt, Team still made a mistake by their opponent and immediately returned the breakthrough. The next game didn’t go well again, but after two big forehand from the right, the team reached 5: 5.

The drama reached its climax and game number 11 did not disappoint. The team showed all the concentration and precision of which it is capable in this last stage of the match. After several even observable grueling plays, the Austrian reached a breaking point, and there, after another strong exchange of blows, forced Zverev to make a mistake to make the score 6: 5 and have the opportunity to close the match .

However, the duel could not pass without reaching a decisive thirteenth game. The team’s nerves didn’t last either, as they visibly began to rebound after 4 hours of play in New York and allowed an instant comeback of the advance to make the score 6: 6.

In the decisive part, both players succumbed to nervousness and exhaustion, and after a quick exchange of mini-break, things went point to point at 4: 3 for the Team. Then Zverev made a double error at the worst possible moment, and the Austrian received two aces to repeat the match at 5: 4. With a powerful passing shot, he gave himself two match points at 6: 4, but on the point of the championship made an unprovoked error from a winning position. Then, the team with a new forehand at the exit to equalize the result in the final part – 6: 6.

At that point, the backhand worked and after a great combination the world number 3 passed Zverev at the net for a new match. The German’s strength and nerves failed him, and the team fell to the ground to celebrate their first Grand Slam title.
