Alexander Zverev: This year I played just two events healthily
Alexander Zverev is not particularly worried about his start to the season. The German is yet to win a title and he dealt with an ankle injury in February and an illness in March, but he approaches the Monte Carlo Masters in a confident manner. "This year I played only two events healthily: Australian Open and Acapulco. In Indian Wells, I was doing bad and in Miami, I had healed but I had not trained a lot and I had not recovered well. I could not play well. People doubted of me in the past too. The past year they were asking me the same questions: 'Why did you start the season so bad?' Then you see what happened," said Zverev.
“It’s funny because I’m 21 years old and I’ve been on Tour for basically five years now. I don’t like to say I’m better or everything like this. I mean obviously, my [ATP] Ranking says it and I’ve won bigger titles, but everybody has their own way. I’ve played more tournaments than them. I’ve been on Tour longer, but in a few years’ time, nobody will remember that I was there quicker. I think those guys are great and I wish them nothing but the best. I think the new generation of tennis will be in good hands.”
Zverev opened his run on Wednesday against Felix Auger-Aliassime. The Hamburg native has never gone beyond the quarter-finals in the event.
