Despite his recent results, Alexander Zverev does not lose faith in reaching the top of the circuit someday. Still uncertain about his future and whether his path will cross with Toni Nadal's, it seems the German wants to keep working hard to achieve his goals.
Honest as usual in his interviews, the German player confessed to Tennis365 that he does not see himself far from Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner, a bold statement that will have to be supported by his performance in upcoming tournaments. This American tour that begins shortly will be a fantastic opportunity for Zverev.
"I'm not as far away as some might think"
"Maybe it hasn't been my best year, but I don't believe I'm as far away as some might think. At this moment, Carlos is the boy wonder. He brings a lot of energy to the court and, along with Jannik, they are the players to beat. I just hope to spoil their party a bit, and I think I can do it.
Carlos is a great guy. It's fun to be with him, and he always has a smile on his face. If he can avoid any controversy, he will be very, very loved by tennis fans," said Alexander, currently ranked number three in the ATP Ranking.
About the Laver Cup
"It was fantastic to participate in the Laver Cup; it's always a great team effort. Many things influence deciding which team finishes first. The way Casper Ruud played his doubles match on the last day of the last Laver Cup was amazing. It was probably the best doubles match I've seen from him.
Then I came back from a set and a break down against Frances Tiafoe to secure the victory, and I was very ill during that week. I withdrew from tournaments for several weeks afterward due to a lung issue. Then Carlos arrived and won the final match against Taylor Fritz, and it was a great weekend. It was definitely a team effort."
