US EditionATP Roundup: Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev Advance in Halle
HALLE, GERMANY, JUN 18 – A 62-year-old spectator was injured by a falling advertising board caused by loose screws, with tournament officials apologizing and promising safety checks, officials said.
- Alexander Zverev advanced to the last 16 at the Halle Open on June 19, 2025, with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Marcos Giron in Halle, Germany.
- Zverev returned to action after his recent defeat to Taylor Fritz in the Stuttgart Open final three days earlier, aiming to regain form on grass.
- During the match, a loose advertising board struck a 62-year-old female spectator, causing a medical stoppage before officials cleared the stands and resumed play.
- Tournament officials suggested that the vibrations from pounding on the boards likely loosened screws, an unprecedented event in the tournament's 32-year history.
- Zverev's win maintained his momentum ahead of a scheduled second-round match against Lorenzo Sonego on June 19, suggesting he remains a strong contender in this ATP 500 event.
