In his 2023 ATP Finals match against Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev dismissed a tweener attempt with a laugh.
Though it didn’t go the full distance, Zverev and Medvedev’s match at the ATP Finals was highly entertaining. Zverev took a moment to catch up, but Medvedev looked really sharp right away, and both of them were excellent after that. Zverev lost the first set after losing a 4-1 lead in the tie-break.
In the second set, Medvedev sealed the deal by taking command. Zverev, who was really involved in the game, put forth a respectable effort. An unsuccessful attempt at tweening was one of the scenarios that made him laugh. As Zverev put it, it backfired terribly.
Zverev discussed this in the post-match interview and said: “I mean, in this kind of match, yeah, there are a lot of emotions. I mean, I tried to hit a tweener and hit my own ball. That’s the reason I was smiling there.”

Q : During the match we saw you very focused, almost throwing the racquet, also smiling, laughing. You seem to have lived so many emotions. Is that what you felt on the court?
