Zverev: "It has been my usual first round, sometimes I make it difficult for myself"

Alexander Zverev has been the first top 4 male player in the ranking to debut with a victory in this US Open 2024 thanks to his four-set win against his compatriot Maximilian Marterer. A fairly correct match where he let the second set slip away, something that would be reminded to him later in the press conference without any malice.

"I guess it's my usual first round, sometimes I make it complicated, even though I had been training and playing extremely well, but we know that matches are different. Normally, I'm not the type of player who plays extremely well in the early rounds, but here the important thing is to advance. I know I have a high level of tennis behind me, so I will try to show it in every match. I know my performance will improve as the rounds go by," assessed the German, who aims to repeat the final he reached in New York four seasons ago.
