“Today I didn’t play my best, there’s no doubt about it," Zverev said. "But I didn’t give up. I knew that I want to do well.
"I’m the defending champion and I want to give myself the best chance to win. I did well to survive today.”
On match point, Zverev zapped a big serve down the middle then shared a survivor's embrace with Brooksby.
This wild and crazy late-night adventure came after the two longest matches in tournament history were played on Monday night.
