I just watched the first set, and as The Original Wing said Nishikori played well, he actually got an early break, but Zverev was in exceptional form.
I personally see Sinner much more of a "sensation" in the sense of a future champion, but he also lost...
And the victory of the ever entertaining Bublik against Shopavalov does deserve a mention (or it was 2 days ago?). The match with Karatsev will certainly be interesting.

Nishikori had no chance in this one. He played all right, but Zverev simply outclassed him from beginning to end.
This was a fun match to watch, despite the one-sided result. Alcaraz showed a lot of heart and a lot of poise, and it's easy to see why Spanish fans are rallying behind him as a player for the future. But Rafa - wow. He was a man on a mission in this one, and played at a super high level.
