The clay court tour that took place in February in South America was not the best experience for Alexander Zverev, who complained about the noise from the crowd during his matches. Javier Frana, former player and captain of the Argentine Davis Cup team, did not hesitate to defend his fans. "Zverev didn't see Sebastián Báez's match against Gael Monfils at Roland Garros. The crowd there was out of control, but no one criticized the Europeans. So, South Americans are the savages for booing Zverev," said the Argentine in an interview with RG Media.

During the conversation, he also took the opportunity to criticize the behavior of the German and Holger Rune during the past ATP 250 in Buenos Aires: "In South America, a great effort is made to bring them, and it's as if they are disconnected from that. A player is hired, and they play half-heartedly or not well... before criticizing, they should reconsider their behavior," he lamented.
