French Open 2022: Alexander Zverev saves match point in five-set thriller en route to third round
Alexander Zverev overcame a woeful start to reach the third round of the French Open, saving a match point in a 2-6 4-6 6-1 6-2 7-5 victory over up-and-coming Argentine Sebastian Baez on Wednesday. The German third seed survived a late fightback from the world number 36 and screamed his lungs out when Baez sent a forehand wide on match point. It was the fifth year in a row that Zverev, who achieved his best result at Roland Garros when he reached the semi-finals last year, had to go through a five-setter in one of the opening two rounds.
