- 31 July 2020 à 14H29
Tennis Majors: How do you feel about this 2020 season?
Alexander Zverev: I've been World No 3 for a few years. I think I could maybe gone even further, who knows ? But I'm starting off with my best Grand Slam result that I ever had (NB: semi-finalist at the Australian Open). I was feeling competitive again in the biggest tournaments in the world. I don't know what could have been. But I felt like I was being very competitive in big tournaments again.TM: How did you react when Indian Wells announced its cancellation?
AZ: In Indian Wells, if you listened to my opening day press conference, I said that I felt like I could have done extremely well at this tournament. I felt like I could have had a similar or maybe a better result than in Australia. But, as I said, things like this, you have no control over. You can't do anything about them. But they unfortunately happen and we just got to hold together as best as we can.TM: How did you train these last few weeks ?
AZ: Obviously, it's not only the return for UTS. It's just getting better, stronger and I use the time as best as I can. It's a very special thing for everybody right now, no sport in six months. So we can prepare better, we can do things that you usually can’t do. I think it is going to be great being on court again.Fierce and feline… 🐾
