Zverev reaches Shanghai last 16 despite right ankle concern

Alexander Zverev defeated France’s Quentin Halys 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3 at the Shanghai Masters in China.

The win sent the German into the round of 16 and was his 60th victory of the season, more than any other player so far.

It was Zverev’s fourth win over Halys this year.

Zverev made 49 unforced errors, while Halys made 63 and hit 29 aces.

But Zverev’s right ankle troubled him near the end, and he appeared to have difficulty moving normally.

The same ankle was injured during his match against Rafael Nadal at the French Open four years ago.

Zverev is due to face Alexander Bublik next, a player who leads their head-to-head record 3-1.
