Alexander Zverev weighed in on his record against Sinner
After yet another loss against the world number one, Alexander Zverev took centre stage and talked about his record against Sinner, joking that he does not like the Italian anymore after registering his ninth defeat in a row to the world number one.ย
โFirst of all, Jannik, I donโt really like you anymore. Iโve lost to you nine times in a row. He’s [Sinner] still the best player in the world, I do believe that. I believe there are probably three guys who can challenge him. All of us have to be working for that goal. I’ll continue working for that goal,โ Zverev said after the game.ย
โI think I’ve challenged him today. Not enough, because I still sit having lost the match. I will continue doing that. The big tournaments are still around the corner. I missed an unfortunate forehand to start the second-set tiebreak. That kind of changed the momentum a little bit. Overall, I thought that the level was very good,โ he added.
