Zverev, after being eliminated in Rio: "It's a shame because I was in a position to win"

Alexander Zverev said goodbye last night to the ATP Rio Open after falling to Francisco Comesaña in the quarterfinals. Thus, the German repeats the same result from last week in Buenos Aires by falling in the same round. However, the world number 2 was more hurt to lose on the carioca territory, as he was having better sensations. "Better level than in Buenos Aires, but it's a shame to end the tournament like this. Still, I enjoyed my time in Rio and hope to return. It's one of the most beautiful 500 tournaments I've played. It's a shame because I was in a winning position," said Zverev in a press conference, who now has to attend the Acapulco tournament.
