    It was Zverev's first ever Wim quarterfinal, semifinal and final.


    Yeah, crazy to think he never won more than 3 matches at any Wimbledon
    just with his serve - now wins 6 in 1 tournament. Zverev deserves a lot
    of credit when you think how he never seems to have injuries (aside from
    that 1 big fluke event v Rafa at FO) and doesn't seem to suffer mental burnout. We'll probably see his highest ever level for next couple
    years into his 30's. He's got an incredible level of big match
    experience under his belt - ranked no.3 nearly 10 years ago. He's not Sincaraz level, but will keep them honest going forward.

    What always impressed me about Zverev (and Sabalenka) is how he overcame
    his service woes. And doing it while continuing to play at the elite
    level of tennis?very impressive to me.
