However, after the match, Alexander Zverev disclosed that he was struggling with a leg injury. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that Tsitsipas played much better than him, and he deserved the victory.

Sascha commented:

“Today, I was pretty limited in everything I tried to do. Already towards the end of the match against Sinner, I had some problems with my serve because of my leg. Today I felt limited; I have to say that yesterday I left a lot of energy on the court, and it certainly didn’t help my leg.

In any case, Stefanos played ten times better than me and fully deserved the victory. I don’t have much more to say; I wish him the best for the final. However, it was a great week for me. I played some good matches,”
