Alexander Zverev: 'Fognini beat Rafael Nadal. It will be tough match'

Alexander Zverev defeated Dusan Lajovic in five sets to reach the French Open fourth round. Analyzing his match, the German said: "Obviously I started off not so good, being a break down twice in the first set, and then I came back very well. Second set was almost perfect for me. And then I think he picked up his level, as well, in the third set. The fourth set I played, you know, I played very bad. Great to come through. Obviously he's been somebody that has been playing very well. Made finals of Monte-Carlo. One of the best clay-court players that we had this season. It's nice to get the win."

Asked if he aims to take a revenge against Fabio Fognini as the Italian beat him in the Monte Carlo Masters, Zverev replied: "Revenge, no. I have beaten him before. I have beaten him in Rome. I have beaten him other tournaments. Obviously, as I said, he's also been one of the best clay-court players this season, winning his first Masters, so obviously playing great tennis. Beating Rafa there, as well, and I think along the way a lot of good players. So it's going to be a difficult match. I think he's playing very well. Hasn't lost more than a set so far in a match. So, you know, it's going to be difficult match. I'm ready for it. I think I'm playing much better than I have the last few months. You know, we'll see how it goes."
