1st set: Zverev 6-3

-- However, chants of "Rafa, Rafa" under the Court Philippe Chatrier roof are quickly silenced as Nadal is broken to love in the first game.

-- Zverev stretches to a 3-1 lead, saving two break points.

-- Nadal saves two set points at 3-5 but gives up the opener on the third when he buries a loose forehand into the net.
