Alexander Zverev arrived at the Rome Masters 1000 with the bitter taste of his last final in Madrid. Perhaps the eternal city will be the place that rescues the German to regain that missing confidence to take the next leap.

And mind you, we are talking about a multiple Masters 1000 champion, a category of tournaments he completely dominates. However, this season he has not stopped stumbling all the time on the same stone. Semifinals in Indian Wells, semifinals in Miami, semifinals in Monte Carlo, and final in Madrid. In the four stops, he ended up inclining before the champion: Jannik Sinner. The good news is that he operates with a consistency that few athletes can achieve; the bad news is that he cannot find the formula to overcome the barrier that stops him every week.

At the Media Day in Rome, the question about the Italian was mandatory, although there was also time to talk about the personal history of Alexander Zverev in this tournament. Champion in 2017, in his second participation, defeating Djokovic in the final. Runner-up the following season, losing to Nadal in the final. Again the champion in 2024, losing only one set on his way to victory. In other words, we are in a territory where the native of Hamburg knows how to sharpen his weapons and cause damage. However, it is currently difficult to see him lifting the trophy considering the recent precedents.

Assessment of his 2026 season

"Well, the season is going well, there are the results, although I keep losing all the time against the same man [...] Actually, we are all losing against that man. Right now, Jannik is two levels above the rest of the players on the professional circuit, playing fantastically, and he deserves all the credit. I still feel disappointed by the way I played in the Mutua Madrid Open final this past Sunday. I think I could have done better, presented a greater challenge, but there was no way."

Good relationship with the Rome Masters

"I love this place, I love Italy in general, and specifically, I love the city of Rome. I always enjoy doing other activities here outside of competition, which then translates into my performance on the court; this always helps you compete a little better. You always feel a bit better when playing when off the court you have been able to enjoy your leisure time outdoors; the results do not lie. I want to continue improving my game, playing better each time, so I hope it will be reflected in these weeks."

Zverev analyzes his relationship with the Big3

"I was very lucky to be able to face the best players in the world since I arrived at this tournament, as well as different generations. I played against Roger, Rafa, and Novak back in the day, but now I have the opportunity to face Carlos and Jannik. I was fortunate in that sense... although in a way, I wish I had played less against them in the final rounds of the big events (laughs). But yes, it was a privilege every time I could face them; here in Rome, I lifted my first Masters 1000 against Novak in the final, something I will never forget."
