Francisco Cerúndolo falls to Alexander Zverev, out of the Australian Open | OneFootball

Francisco Cerúndolo (18th) was eliminated in the round of 16 at the Australian Open after falling 6-2 and double 6-4 to Alexander Zverev (3rd) this Sunday. As a result, the tournament is now left without any Argentinians in the men's singles and only Horacio Zeballos remains in the doubles (he holds 5th place in that ranking).

The Argentinian was unable to defeat a top ten player for the first time in a Grand Slam. Although he had beaten the German three out of five previous times, always on clay, he was never able to come out on top in this matchup on hard courts like those at Melbourne Park.

Zverev, 28, wrapped up the match in two hours and 13 minutes, reaching the quarterfinals for the fifth time. He is the only German to have reached the last eight of this event so many times, surpassing Boris Becker, who was a quarterfinalist on four occasions between 1984 and 1996.
