Zverev really was incredible in the 1st and 2nd set, Jannik just had to continue doing what he was consistent and soaked in pressure from zverev. Had zverev won the 2nd set it may have been a diff story. Good game.

The takeaway shouldn't be that Zverev's forehand was perfect in the 1st set. It was far from it. He made lots of errors on it, FAR more than usual.
The takeaway is that he had the stomach for those errors and that the appetite for risk didn't waiver on pressure points.
