Defending Champion Zverev Meets Rising De Minaur in D.C CITI OPEN 2018: DAY 7 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, 5 August 2018 Rock Creek Park Tennis Center | Washington, D.C., USA | 30 July-5 August 2018 Draw: S-48, D-16 | Prize Money: $1,890,155 | Surface: Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com www.Citiopentennis.com/ Edward LaCava: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @CitiOpen.com Press Officer: Sheena Pegarido ([email protected]) Facebook: @ATPWorldTour www.facebook.com/CitiOpen TV & Radio: TennisTV.com DEFENDING CHAMPION ZVEREV MEETS RISING DE MINAUR IN D.C. FINAL • No. 1 seed and defending champion Alexander Zverev of Germany will attempt to claim a second straight Citi Open title when he meets Australian Alex de Minaur for the trophy in Washington. 21- year-old Zverev and 19-year-old de Minaur combine for the youngest final on the ATP World Tour since 20-year-old Rafael Nadal beat 19-year-old Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells in 2007. In their only prior meeting, Zverev won a fifth-set tiebreak to beat de Minaur at a Davis Cup tie in February. • Zverev extends his rich vein of form at Washington, having compiled a 15-2 record in the American capital by reaching the quarter-finals or better in all four of his consecutive appearances dating back to 2015. Zverev dropped only one set en route to the final, against Kei Nishikori, who he beat at the Citi Open for the second straight year. The German is bidding to become the first repeat champion at Washington since Juan Martin del Potro went back-to-back in 2008 and 2009. • De Minaur started the year ranked No. 208 but quickly established himself on the ATP World Tour, reaching the Brisbane semi-finals and Sydney final in back-to-back weeks. This made de Minaur the youngest player to reach semi-finals in consecutive weeks since Nadal did so at 2005 Monte- Carlo and Barcelona. He continued to prove his mettle this week, fending off four straight match points in a second-set tiebreak against Andrey Rublev in the semi-finals. If de Minaur wins the title, he will be the youngest champion on tour since Zverev himself triumphed at 2016 St. Petersburg. • In the doubles final, Mike Bryan goes for his fifth Washington title, but it would be his first without his twin brother Bob, who is dealing with a hip injury. 40-year-old M. Bryan is back at World No. 1 after winning Wimbledon with Jack Sock, and now takes aim at the Citi Open 2018 title alongside Edouard Roger-Vasselin, in their first event together. They will face No. 4 seeds Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares, who seek their second title of the season following their triumph at Acapulco.

    The Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation News Produced for Members of the Foundation ABN 90 004 905 060 October 2015 Britain defeats Australia in Davis Cup Semi-Final Congratulations to the British Davis Cup team led by Andy Murray which defeated Australia 3-2 in a hard fought match in Glasgow from 17-19 September. Murray won both his singles and teamed with his brother John to edge out Groth and Hewitt in five sets in the crucial doubles rubber. Murray received fantastic support from the 8000 strong crowd which was also appreciative of Lleyton Hewitt playing in what was to be his final Davis Cup match. The Australian team showed great fighting spirit and camaraderie and, with the recall of Kyrgios, will be a force to be reckoned with in Davis Cup in the next few years. It is anticipated that Hewitt will take over from Masur as Captain in 2016. Page !1 Around the traps…… Put up your hand if someone has taken your seat! Australian Captain Wally Masur is giving Sam Groth a go as Captain during Kokkinakis’ dead rubber so that he can have a chat with mate Pat Cash. Sam did a good job as Kokkinakis had an impressive straight sets win. Australia v USA The next tie will be in Australia from 6-8 March 2016 against our old rivals, the USA. Melbourne Park Tour Neale Fraser will be conducting a guided tour of Melbourne Park for ADCTF Members on Monday 16 November. 10.30 am to 12 noon, cost $20 (includes cup of coffee).
