Alexander Zverev explained in detail during the press conference how the game on clay is influenced by two factors like altitude and temperature. "This is a lively surface, it changes a lot depending on the environmental conditions. The game is completely different if it is hot or cold and humid. There is a clear reason why I never made it past the semifinals in Monte Carlo and do well in Madrid and Rome. I need it to be warm for the ball to bounce a lot. Also, in Madrid, the altitude makes the balls fly faster and bounce a lot. In the three stadiums in Madrid, the sensation is like playing indoors," he stated at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025.
