Alexander Zverev's Struggles Continue with Early Exit in Acapulco

The world number two fell to 19-year-old Learner Tien, marking his third consecutive disappointing tournament performance.

Alexander Zverev was defeated in straight sets by US teenager Learner Tien (6-3, 6-4) in the Acapulco ATP 500 tournament's round of 16.
This marks Zverev's third consecutive early exit after quarterfinal losses in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro earlier this month.
The 27-year-old German, still recovering from his Australian Open final loss, struggled with unforced errors and squandered a 4-1 lead in the second set.
Despite Jannik Sinner's absence due to a doping suspension, Zverev has been unable to capitalize on opportunities to close the gap in the ATP rankings.
Zverev now looks to the upcoming Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami to regain form and confidence.
