Sascha Zverev is definitely one of the most exciting players of the so-called #nextgen.
The 21-year-old has already won 3 Masters ATP1000, and he is leading the Year to Date rankings. Even if the German didn’t manage to defeat Nadal in the Rome final, he is still pretty happy with his week in Italy, and that is not only because of the delicious cappuccinos.
Why Zverev is very happy
Despite Sascha went through a tough loss against the King of Clay after Rafa won the last 5 games in the final reversing his 1-3 deficit in the decider, Zverev explained why he is delighted with his overall performance to comment
“Even when I was tired, I still found a way against great players. And this is not easy to do. This is one of the biggest tournaments that we have in the world. So, finding a way to get to the finals after two tournaments that I won is something amazing for me.”
I was not far away from beating Rafa on a clay court in a Masters final. I found the way [in the second and middle of the third set], I felt like I had control over most of the points. That is very important against him on clay.
We’ll see next time I play him. But right now, he’s in control of me.”
