Alexander Zverev crashes out from Australian Open
Melbourne, Jan 20 (IBNS): Fourth seed Alexander Zverev bowed out from the ongoing Australian Open after he was defeated by world number 59 Hyeon Chung in a third round clash here.
Zverev was defeated by his opponent by 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 6-3 6-0.
He led by two sets to one but later missed the momentum to ultimately crash out of the tournament.
He clinched just five points in the decider.
Meanwhile, Chung became the first South Korean man to reach the last 16 of the first major Grand Slam of the year.
The Asian player is all set to face either six-time champion Novak Djokovic or Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the next round.
The German player, he defeated in this round, is considered as one of the major future stars in the world of Tennis.
He is ranked number four in the world.
However, he has never reached a Grand-Slam quarter finals.
