ATP Finals, all the bitterness of Alexander Zverev

These are the words of Alexander Zverev in the press conference after the defeat to Taylor Fritz in the semifinals of the Atp Finals in Turin.”This defeat maybe hurts a little bit more because I thought I played at a good level and I had more chances in the third set. I had the feeling that my level was higher than his until the important moments. È lì that I kind of ruined it".

"I played a below-average tie break,” he added, “much worse than I did in the third set. Today I felt a little bit more empty, yesterday I felt really full of energy: I was like a jumping ball and I could run no matter how long. Today at the beginning of the match I struggled, and even in the warm-up I struggled".

A balance of the season? "This year I have played some great games. I won 69 games, è it was an interesting year especially after the injury. È it was my first year back competing at this level and competing for big tournaments. I will do everything I can to return to the same position next year, do everything I can to win".

The world No. 2 then reveals that "what will remain in my mind from this year è the Australian Open defeat against Daniil (Medvedev ed.) and the French Open final against Carlos (Alcaraz ed.). These are the matches that remain in my mind".
