Zverev, with confidence in his tennis: "I can do a lot of damage when I play like this"

Alexander Zverev once again demonstrates his high level of tennis at a Grand Slam, this time advancing to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open 2025. Despite dropping a set along the way, the German, ranked number two in the world, shows great confidence in his form, a key factor in continuing to achieve great things in Melbourne.

26 consecutive wins against left-handers

"I believe this statistic doesn't do justice to left-handers. I simply had an older brother who is left-handed and whom I grew up with. Training with a left-hander, knowing all those sliced shots, the topspins they produce, which may be uncomfortable for some players but are more comfortable for me because I'm used to it. I think that's the main reason," explained the German in a press conference.

His chances of reaching the final

"All the players who reach this stage are playing very well. Everyone who reaches the quarterfinals, the semifinals, deserves it. There is no easy path to get here. Sometimes, the draw is a bit more open, other times you defeat players who feel uneasy facing you. To reach the quarterfinals, you have to play great tennis. In my mind, I know I'm playing well. I feel it on the court. I feel I can do a lot of damage when I play like this, but my opponents feel the same way. From here on out, there will only be tough battles."

About Tommy Paul, his upcoming opponent

"He has grown a lot as a player. He's close to entering the Top 10 in the world, has had great results in Grand Slams, very different from the last times we played. He's a very intelligent player, capable of changing tactics a lot in his matches. I respect him a lot, he's someone I get along with very well in the locker room, outside the court."
