Zverev avoids shock exit in Paris classic

After overcoming Dutch 26th seed Tallon Griekspoor in a nerve-wracking five-set thriller, Alexander Zverev advanced to the French Open round of 16.

The fourth-seeded German player lost the deciding set 4-1 to a double break before coming back to win 3-6 6-4 6-2 4-6 7-6 (10-3) on Saturday.

The triumph occurred just one day after Zverev's alleged domestic abuse case was brought before a Berlin court.
