The road to glory is not linear; there are ups and downs, and the important thing is to recover from the bad moments and learn from them. With that mantra, Alexander Zverev arrived at Roland Garros 2025 after months immersed in a negative spiral but aiming to rediscover his best tennis in one of his favorite tournaments.

Arriving at a major tournament with doubts is not an obstacle for the world's best players to gradually rediscover their best form and display great tennis. That is what Alexander Zverev intends to do at this Roland Garros 2025, which presents a new opportunity for the German to achieve his main goal: winning a Grand Slam title. After a solid victory over Learner Tien, he faced the media and addressed several issues.

- Difficulty of playing conditions at Roland Garros 2025

The Parisian event is known for how the courts change depending on the weather conditions. The prevailing humidity this Tuesday led Sascha to comment, "I knew I had to be very solid after he beat me in Acapulco. I must say that the court there was even slower than today. Luckily, I played a very solid match, seized the opportunities I had, and chose the shots to execute well," he stated.

- Lack of consistency in recent months

"I wouldn't say I had a bad preparation for this tournament, but the truth is that throwing up three days before coming here conditions things. In any case, I have to think about myself and know that if I play at my best level, few can beat me. I have to accept the irregularity and ups and downs as part of me; I can't be like the Big 3. Reaching semifinals or finals every week is impossible because my highs are really good, but my bad moments are much worse than those of legends like them. I have to try to display my best version in the coming weeks," he warned.

- Reasons for his positive feelings at Roland Garros

"The reasons for my good historical performance here are physical. I have a lot of confidence in my athletic prowess and my ability to endure efforts for a long time. This tournament is the most demanding physically, due to the clay courts and five sets. There have been many occasions where I have been two sets down or one set behind and ended up winning. I know I am a very difficult player to overwhelm in that respect. Additionally, Roland Garros is my favorite tournament and has been my top priority for years," stated Alexander Zverev, who will face either De Jong or Passaro in the second round of Roland Garros 2025.
