Tommy Paul defeated Alexander Zverev 4-6, 7(8)-6(6), 6-4 — Cincinnati Open 2026 R16.
Alexander Zverev and Tommy Paul are level at 1–1 across 2 recorded meetings.
Top-seeded Alexander Zverev, the Wimbledon runner-up in July, is out of the Cincinnati Open in the round of 16 as the betting market's 68 percent favorite. Nine double faults to one framed the afternoon, and his only break of the decider, in game 6 for 4-2, lasted exactly one game. Tommy Paul broke back in game 7 for 3-4, then again in game 9 for 5-4, taking the last four games while finishing 12 of 15 at the net against 34 winners overall. Zverev had won their only meeting on record, an Australian Open quarterfinal. The 18th seed moves into the quarterfinals at a Masters, now 2-1 against Top 8 opponents this season.
