Alexander Zverev still feels inferior to Jannik Sinner

Zverev’s words

Alexander Zverev spoke at a press conference before the Rio Open opener: "I think my level is gradually improving. Historically, it took me several matches to play good tennis on clay, so I am satisfied with my progress. What worries me a little bit is that my elbow might suffer from the high humidity here. The ball è very heavy, è difficult to move it and this is not è the best for the problems I am having”, he commented.

"You all know how much I want to become Slam champion and number 1 in the world. I know that to achieve that I will have to fight hard with Alcaraz and Sinner becauseé still there are things they can do better than me. I have to evolve in those aspects to achieve my dreams in the tennis world".

Fonseca remark on Fonseca: “I told him that è perfectly normal to lose at the beginning of the week after your first title. The truth è è that I like him very much, as a tennis player and as a person. I am convinced that he will reach the Top-10 and Top-5 rankings, but these things take time, there's no need to rush his progress".
