BRISBANE, Australia — Alexander Zverev has powered Germany through to the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup World Group, beating Australia’s Nick Kyrgios 6-2, 7-6 (3), 6-2 in the first reverse singles Sunday. Germany went into Sunday’s play leading 2-1 after a doubles win Saturday. The final singles match between Australia’s Alex de Minaur and Jan-Lennard Struff was not played, giving Germany a 3-1 win. Two of those five-set losses could have gone either way (but) that’s Davis Cup tennis,” Hewitt said. On Friday, Zverev gave Germany a 1-0 lead with a 7-5, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4) win over de Minaur before Kyrgios levelled for Australia with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Struff.
