The presence of Alexander Zverev next week in Bologna could seem like a victory for his country and also for the Davis Cup, although ultimately it appears it will only be for the German team, which will be able to count on its top star. What does not change is Sascha's opinion about the competition, which he has once again mercilessly criticized in his latest press conference.

"I played against Nadal in a bullring, that is the real Davis Cup for me," stated the Hamburger native after being eliminated in Turin. "I maintain my opinion, I have always said it in these last two years, I do not believe this is the real Davis Cup, it is just an exhibition tournament called the Davis Cup. I will play it for my teammates, and my German colleagues asked me to play, but this has nothing to do with the Davis Cup," pointed out the world No.3.
