Top seed Alexander Zverev crashed out of Munich’s ATP clay-court tournament after a shock defeat to qualifier Ilya Ivashka in the quarter-finals on Friday. Despite winning the opening set on a tie-breaker, Zverev, the 2017 and 2018 Munich champion, bowed out 7-6 (7/5), 5-7, 3-6 after Ivashka of Belarus converted his first match point. 


Ivashka, 27, is ranked 101 places below World No. 6 Zverev, 24, who made numerous errors and rowed throughout the match with his coach, who is also his father, sat in the stands. 


“This is a match I should never have lost.  I’m sad and disappointed,” admitted Zverev.
