Concern was etched across the faces of the Zverev support camp as their prodigy toiled. The second seed's Grand Slam record didn't exactly shine; he'd never beaten a Top-50 player at a major in seven previous attempts: US Open 2015 – Kohlschreiber R1 (No.29), Australian Open 2016 – Murray R1 (No.2), French Open 2016 – Thiem R3 (No.15), Wimbledon 2016 – Berdych R3 (No.9), Australian Open 2017 – Nadal R3 (No.9), Roland Garros 2017 – Verdasco R1 (No.37), and Wimbledon 2017 – Raonic R4 (No. 7).
