Alexander Zverev thinks it is only a matter of time before he will win his first Grand Slam title. "I said in New York that I wasn't playing my best tennis. But I was still in the final," the 23-year-old from Hamburg told Sport Bild : "That's why it's interesting for me what happens when I have my best tennis games. "
At this year's US Open, Zverev had reached the final of one of the four largest tournaments in tennis for the first time, but was still defeated by Dominic Thiem in five rounds after a 2-0 set lead. At the beginning of 2020, the Australian Open was the final destination - at that time Thiem won the semi-finals in four tight sets.
Zverev wants to play for the title in London
He knows that he is "very close" and that he can "improve many things": "So it will be more and more interesting for me over the next few years." Zverev used the long corona break to become even more robust. He currently weighs 90 kilos, "more than ever," said Zverev, who wants to play for the title at the ATP finals in London from Sunday: "I weighed 84 before Corona, so I gained six kilos in muscles, especially on the legs and back. "
Zverev won the 2018 season-end tournament and reached the semi-finals last year. And lost this against Dominic Thiem. The groups will be drawn on Thursday.
