LONDEN (ANP) - Tennisser Alexander Zverev is voor het eerst doorgedrongen tot de halve finales op Wimbledon. De als tweede geplaatste Duitser was met 6-4 6-4 6-2 te sterk voor de Amerikaan Taylor Fritz, de nummer 7 van de wereldranglijst. Hij treft in de halve finales de Brit Arthur Fery, die de Italiaan Flavio Cobolli versloeg.
Zverev speelde vorige maand de finale op Roland Garros tegen Cobolli. De Duitser won in Parijs zijn eerste grandslamtitel na een vijfsetter. Hij had met het bereiken van de kwartfinales ook al zijn beste prestatie op Wimbledon geboekt.

Fery’s subsequent backhand drop volley stopped dead on the grass, killing the second set in the process.

Trump had deposited this multimillion jury award, plus 11% interest, into a court-controlled account about six weeks after Carroll’s win. For this money, which now totals about $5.8m, to be released, a judge has to order directing the court-controlled fund to do so. Trump has denied all wrongdoing.
