Jack Sock: 'Roger Federer was close to nonhuman in doubles match'
Jack Sock and Denis Shapovalov lost the doubles match to Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev on Friday in Geneva. The American player said: "I knew we were going to have high energy. We both enjoy playing doubles. We are both, I would say, big personality players out there. We play big, we play aggressive, physical tennis. Yeah, I mean, can't ask for much more. They said we had 16 breakpoints and only converted one. I thought Sascha served really well. I thought Roger was pretty close to nonhuman in that match. Yeah, it was a tough one. We had chances, but, yeah, it stings a little bit, for sure."
Shapovalov added: "For me, it's kind of an honor to be out on the court playing both singles and doubles, especially with Jack, with a guy who has had so much history in doubles and so much success. Honestly, just really fun to be on the court. Like he said, it stings, you know, losing a match like this where we had a lot of opportunities, but, you know, besides that, I think I had an unbelievable time playing with him."
Taylor Fritz said: “That was such a big match for Team World to win, we really needed that. Now we’re four points in the lead, one match from the win. It was so crucial. This has to be one of the biggest wins of my career. It means so much more when you’re playing for other people as well."
