Countless first-round defeats suffered the sympathetic Americans this season and was passed through in the world rankings accordingly. The former number 21 in the world can now only be found in 76th place.

The confidence was certainly cracked after these achievements, but this was in the game against Kohlschreiber see nothing. With his probably strongest season performance in 2019 he won in less than 70 minutes a sovereign 6: 3 and 6: 3-success. In the process, Johnson did not have to fend off a single break-ball during the entire game, again and again he was able to dictate the rally with his strong first serve. 13 aces and 85% points gained after the first serve are a clear indication of a strong performance. Also noteworthy was Johnson’s low number of unforced errors.

With a win rate of over 61% as a pro on the green underground, turf is statistically the strongest pad of the four-time tournament winner, two of the four titles took Johnson on turf. A win by Johnson against Zverev would be a surprise but certainly not a sensation. Especially since Zverev can be handicapped after his fall, in the second round between Alexander Zverev and Steve Johnson could recommend a tip on the US boy with moderate dedication.
