The second half of last season was dominated by Novak, Daniil and myself; I hope and I want it to continue like this throughout 2022 because I believe that the one that starts now could be the best season so far of my career “, says with enormous self-confidence a man who wants to start in style and show the world that the problems of physical and mental solidity in Grand Slam events, which have condemned him so much, have come to an end.
Zverev believes that in 2019 he was not mentally prepared to fight for the maximum
To do this, he argues that all the accumulated experience has changed him as a tennis player. “Look when I won the ATP Finals in 2018 I was not prepared to consolidate myself at the top, I was too young and I don’t think that at 21 years old I can achieve what I propose to do now. I feel that I am a very different player from 2019, But I have also improved as a person. All the experiences that I have lived on and off the track have made me learn a lot and now I know how to handle pressure, I know how to deal with the media and, ultimately, I feel more comfortable in all circumstances, “said a Alexander Zverev with high expectations in the ATP Cup 2022.
