Unwillingly, but Alexander Zverev became the target of mockery on social media after his recent statements at the ATP in Shanghai, where he said that tournament directors were paving the way for Alcaraz and Sinner to reach the final. Nevertheless, in a draw without either of the two, the German has been eliminated by Arthur Rinderknech.

Another setback for Sascha Zverev, who is not having the best of years. After a strong start to the season, with a final in Australia, the German has been accumulating negative feelings to the point that he approaches the end of 2025 with little confidence, eagerly awaiting December to reset body and mind.

-Arthur Rinderknech reveals the tactic he used to defeat Sascha Zverev

The Frenchman had previously defeated Zverev at Wimbledon and now adds a new victory against a Top 10 player. Speaking to the press, as reported by L’Equipe, Rinderknech reflects on the match and the key that led him to victory over Sascha.

-Another victory against Zverev

Not many can claim a 2-0 record against Zverev. I am very happy, very proud. It means a lot to me to beat him again. My level of play has always been there for a long time. It’s good. This is the path I seek and the one we are perfecting. The next match against Lehecka is crucial to confirm it.

-Game plan to defeat Zverev

I talked with Lucas (Pouille) about the game plan and we tried something I did a lot at Wimbledon. It's not his (Zverev’s) strong suit, so I tried to force him forward to unsettle him. He likes to play far behind the baseline, counter-attack, hit hard, and pressure the opponent into making a mistake. That happened, actually, in the first set. After that, I found more precision in my tactics, combining shots to bring him forward and then pushing him back while keeping him alert with drop shots. That is something he doesn’t like.

-Rinderknech’s mental state

I know that when I am mentally comfortable, I am a very good tennis player, but this sport is very complicated. Even when you feel good, matches are tough. I am very happy about this victory, but I try to stay humble. This is just a tennis match after all.
