Despite winning the opening set on a tie-breaker, Zverev, the 2017 and 2018 Munich champion, bowed out 7-6 (7/5), 5-7, 3-6 after Ivashka of Belarus converted his first match point. 

Ivashka, 27, is ranked 101 places below World No. 6 Zverev, 24, who made numerous errors and rowed throughout the match with his coach, who is also his father, sat in the stands.
