Zverev Takes On Thiem; Rublev, Sinner & Hurkacz All In Action | Halle 2023 Highlights Day 2

He's gone long. Early break for Zverev. Nice redirection. Good reach and a great way to bring up that opening set for Sasha Zverev. Well done. That's clever from Zverev. Played it straight to him. Well, I reckon he was about a millimetre away from being in the chair. Anticipated where it was going to go. But it was deep. Oh, he's got the break now. A really solid performance from Sasha Zverev. An hour and 18 minutes on court. These two have plenty of history together. Nice start for Rublev. Good play from Rublev. It is Rublev who finds the breakthrough late. This time gets it done. And to Andrei Rublev. That's hit the corner. Oh, that's brilliant. Goes for that. Is a very good response. Too good. It's on the line. Rublev can't believe it. He makes it. The bigger this time. It's out. You just spot the score line. Well, it's a victory. It is a forehand with a flourish. Makes it. That is a beauty. Fantastic strike. Clever. Well, it is the first set in the bag for Yannick Siddert. So good. Oh, he's got it. Flicks by Yannick. Oh, delicious. Oh, wow. Bullseye. Gets it in fine style. It is the breakthrough this time. Going to work out nicely. Too good. Oh, how good is that? Sealed with an ace. It is an opening win for Yannick Siddert. As he comes past the considerable threats of Richard Gasquet. Twice a semi-finalist here, Gasquet. Siddert making his debut here in Halle. Oh, he's made it. That is a remarkable shot. A wry smile from her catch. This is absolutely beautiful. I mean, it was a great volley, wasn't it? It is the break. Put away. Out it goes. It is Hubert Urquhart, who comes through a tight opening set. Well covered. Yeah, eventually. What a good volley. I thought Eubanks might have had him. Oh, that's majestic play from Eubanks. It is a third set required. Our defending champion opens up his title defence. Hubert Urquhart's catch. He had to dig deep. He had to work hard against Christopher Eubanks. Seven match points in the end. I believe that he's got the job done.
