After losing to Fritz once more, Zverev was heartbroken and complained about his lost opportunities in the press conference that followed the game. Zverev stated that he felt he played better than Fritz that day and had created more opportunities to take the lead, so it would be more difficult to move on from this loss.
He talked about it and said: “I think this one will hurt maybe a bit more because again, as I said, I thought I played at a decent level and I had more chances generally in the third set. I felt like statistically and shot-wise, my level maybe was even higher than his until the important moments. That’s where I kind of blew it. This one will hurt more than the other few.”
