Alexander Zverev also wants changes. The world number three was no exception and joined his peers in protesting against the prize money at Roland Garros, setting a limit of fifteen minutes for his first press conference in Paris.

During the conference, the German emphasized the need for real changes so that lower-ranked tennis players can make a living. He also took the opportunity to mention the improvement in his back issues, which led him to withdraw from Hamburg, after consulting a renowned doctor in Germany.

Arriving in Paris recovered from his back problems

"I had some time off after Rome. I was able to look after my back a bit, so that was very helpful. I visited some doctors in Germany, which was also very useful, and I feel good. I feel ready to compete and hope to demonstrate that on the court on Sunday."

Reveals the origin of these discomforts

"The back problem started last year, and I was really struggling throughout the season. Then I went to see a very famous German doctor, Müller-Wohlfahrt, in December. He gave me two treatments in December, and I felt amazing during the first three months of the season, until late April."

"After that, in Munich, the problem reappeared, and after a few matches, I was suffering quite a lot. But his treatment requires a few days for you to really feel good again, and I didn't have that gap until after Rome. After Rome, I went to see him again. I visited him twice in a few days, and he gave me two more treatments. Honestly, after what he does, I feel amazing."

Alexander Zverev also complied with the protests at Roland Garros and only granted 15 minutes in the press conference

"Honestly, I'm not the one leading this, but I'm very happy to join because I believe there should be more fairness for the players. And that fairness should not only be for the world number 1, 2, or 3. There should be a situation where we can say that a player ranked 250 can make a living from tennis."

Wants the number 250 to be able to live comfortably from tennis

"I feel that if everyone comes together, the tours, the Grand Slams,  and a more fair percentage and joint plan are achieved, that can happen. I think many players could benefit, not just the best in the world. Because yes, the conversation seems to revolve around 'we want more money,' but it's not just that."

"There are players who are in the top 200 in the world, exceptional tennis players, and they can barely make a living from tennis or are even losing money. For the size and importance that tennis has as a global sport, I think that can change. And it can change with the help of the world's most important tournaments," states a Alexander Zverev who demands more support and more money for the players; otherwise, the threat of a boycott will begin to take shape.
