Fritz blows hole in Zverev's perfect serving record
Fritz blew a hole in Zverev's perfect serving record at this year's Wimbledon, with the German failing to serve out the match when leading 5-4 in the third set. Fritz then took the tie-break 7-2 to level the match.
Fritz completes comeback in five sets
Fritz continued his momentum in the fourth set, breaking Zverev's serve twice to take it 7-6 (2). He then broke Zverev's serve twice more in the fifth set to complete the remarkable comeback.
The victory is Fritz's best ever at a Grand Slam, and it sees him reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the first time.
Fritz will now face Jason Kubler in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
