After two victories at the 2026 Monte Carlo Masters, Alexander Zverev's expectations are not fully met. It is true that he is still in the fight, but his tennis level has not reached the desired standard. I like seeing the German being self-critical, which does not always happen.

"The truth is I'm not playing well yet [...] I'm not playing well here in Monaco, not yet, but I'm in the quarterfinals. That's the only thing that matters right now. It's a big step forward from yesterday; I felt like I didn't play well yesterday, but today I handled it much better, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow," evaluated the German at the Tennis Channel after his triumph over Bergs.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Zverev: “No estoy jugando bien… pero estoy en cuartos y eso es lo más importante”
