Zverev explains about Cerúndolo in an on-court interview: “He is a player of great quality and had never lost a set before.”
The 28-year-old also looks ahead: “Hopefully I can play even better in the hopefully next three games. I played a little more serve and volley, a few more stops. I try to play what they both do.”
Zverev also looks back: “I think the last year has been terrible for meI felt terrible. Maybe I should have stayed in Australia for twelve months. I hope this year will be better. In the last twelve months I’ve really struggled and had injuries that prevented me from playing at 100 percent. When I’m healthy, I’m happy on the court.”
