After waiting an extra day to get on court at the BMW Open, Alexander Zverev바카라s tournament was ended in straight sets by Christopher O바카라Connell on Thursday as top-seeded Holger Rune won his opening match.

Zverev had a first-round bye and his second-round match with O바카라Connell was delayed a day after rain washed out most of the Wednesday schedule.

Playing 82nd-ranked O바카라Connell in cold conditions in front of a German crowd huddled in thick coats, Zverev never built much momentum and struggled to land his first serves as he was defeated 7-6 (2), 6-4.

바카라It바카라s definitely tough playing Zverev here in front of the home crowd,바카라 O바카라Connell said in his on-court interview. 바카라This is the coldest weather I바카라ve ever played in. It바카라s tough, took me a while to get warmed up.바카라 O바카라Connell moves on to a quarterfinal meeting with qualifier Flavio Cobolli.

Rune secured a spot in the quarterfinals with a straightforward 6-3, 6-4 win over Yannick Hanfmann and next plays Chilean clay-court specialist Cristian Garin. Rune is aiming to follow up his strong start to the clay season after he was runner-up to Andrey Rublev in Monaco last week. Garin beat sixth-seeded Lorenzo Sonego 6-3, 7-6 (3).
