Alexander Zverev explains the difference with Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz
Alexander Zverev in a press conference in Rome è returned to compare his generation with that of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, pointing out that now the young rising stars are more hailed because of the demise of the Big Three (Federer, Nadal and Djokovic). "I, Medvedev and Tsitsipas are great players. The difference between us and the current top youngsters è that in our first years on the circuit we had to face the Big Three at the top".
"Facing Djokovic, Nadal and Federer è a very difficult challenge, but we managed to beat them moreù times. Medvedev beat Novak in the final of a Slam, I beat him in the semifinals of the Olympics and I played great matches against Rafa".
On the many injuries, Zverev è expressed himself this way: "I think the extension of the Masters 1000 spammed over more days is great for players from 60th to 100th in the rankings because theyé have the opportunity’to be in the main draw. But this expanded schedule is not good for the top 10 and players who go far weekly in tournaments".
"It's true that we have more rest between matches, but for us, resting è when we are at home, with our family and sleeping in our own bed. That è resting. When you play a match and the next day you don't, it doesn't mean you have a day off because you're still training and following your routine".
