Sincere, direct, and honest. That's how Alexander Zverev appeared at the Team Europe joint press conference before the start of the Laver Cup 2025 this Friday. Several times, accredited journalists requested his opinion on various topics, such as the tight schedule and, especially, the apparent superiority of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner compared to the others.

The ability of Alexander Zverev to generate headlines when facing a microphone should never be underestimated, especially in a relaxed environment like the one provided by the Laver Cup 2025. The German arrives needing to regain confidence and find good feelings again after a negative turn in recent months. His reflections on the exhausting ATP calendar, as well as on the dominance established by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, deserve attention.

- Need for a change in the ATP calendar

This was a recurring topic last year, and almost every week, players are raising their voices and calling for a drastic change. Zverev is one of the most outspoken on the issue and has taken on the responsibility of being the spokesperson for the rest of the players, who agreed with his stance. "This has been a recurring issue since I joined the circuit, and nothing has changed in recent months. Our schedule is tighter than ever," he said.

"Personally, I have always believed that tennis players deserve and need a real preseason where we can train and prepare in all aspects of the game, as well as some time off beforehand to relax. With this calendar, we can't even have two weeks off. The schedule is too dense and intense. We finish with the ATP Finals and start with a Grand Slam, it can't be like this," the German commented.

- Alcaraz and Sinner's superiority over the others

"Look, the Roland Garros final between Carlos and Jannik was something never seen in this sport, if only for the speed of their shots. The way they played tennis that day... Obviously, we have had great champions in the past 15 years facing each other, and the Big 3 gave us unforgettable matches, but the style of play these two showcased in Paris was something I had never seen before," he pointed out.

In theory, it is Alexander Zverev himself who should emerge as one of the most solid alternatives to the power established by the Spanish and the Italian, so his words about the current state of affairs are noteworthy. "Both are ahead of the others, clearly, and our obligation is to work hard to try to reach their level. This year, no one has succeeded. Hopefully, someone will achieve it next season," concluded the German, a regular in this competition who will seek to be a protagonist in the Laver Cup 2025.
