AFP, WASHINGTONEighth-ranked Alexander Zverev and 10th-ranked Milos Raonic on Wednesday foiled upset bids at the Citi Open, but 200th-ranked Indian qualifier Yuki Bhambri stunned defending champion Gael Monfils. Zverev, a 20-year-old German playing his first hard-court match in four months, rallied to edge Australia’s 75th-ranked Jordan Thompson 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/5). “This is a chance to really get things going the right way,” Raonic said. This year, I haven’t had that good a season.”France’s Monfils, ranked 22nd, was humbled after stumbling from the start as Bhambri won 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. Raonic has not won an ATP title since last year at Brisbane, a run of 29 events.
