Tennis - Rome 2025 - Alexander Zverev : "I'm like the worst world number two ever..." - Vidéo Dailymotion

Tennis Actu TV

Le Masters 1000 de Rome s'annonce crucial pour Alexander Zverev, lui qui arrive au Foro Italico en tant que vainqueur de la dernière édition. En difficulté depuis sa finale à l'Open d'Australie, l'Allemand s'est montré lucide en conférence de presse sur les raisons de sa mauvaise passe : "Avant le tournoi de Munich, mon tennis était vraiment mauvais, et je sais pourquoi. Ne pas prendre quelques semaines de repos après l'Open d'Australie a été une erreur, car j'ai fini par être épuisé mentalement. Le tennis est un sport très exigeant ; il faut reposer son corps et son esprit, et je ne l'ai pas fait au bon moment. Maintenant, je dois être positif et me rappeler que j'ai gagné un tournoi il y a deux semaines."  @ Internazionali BNL d'Italia  « Le tennis, partout & toujours ici », sur  https://www.tennisactu.net / Tennis Actu

00:30Just going back to Madrid, is there anything you can take away from a match like that and the opponent that you are playing?

00:40Yeah, that I hate playing him, to be honest.

00:46Yeah, I mean, I think outside of the top guys like Yannick and Carlos, he's probably the most difficult for me to play.

00:53I haven't really figured out how to play him, haven't really figured out a way to beat him, which shows on the record.

01:01But all in all, I thought my level of tennis was okay there.

01:04I thought I played three pretty good matches there.

01:08Also, winning Munich the week before, I feel like my tennis is at the right spot right now.

01:13And just going back to having a kind of a bogey player like that, does that play on your mind before the match?

01:21Is that something you're thinking about?

01:22I mean, I know who's comfortable and who's uncomfortable for me.

01:26There's top guys, you know, top 10 in the world.

01:30I'm not going to mention names, but who are very comfortable for me, for example.

01:33And then there's guys who are not top 10 and maybe outside who are less comfortable.

01:38But that's how it goes.

01:40That's why tennis is such an interesting sport.

01:41It's all about match-ups.

01:43It's all about how somebody fits your game style.

01:47And that's why the results are so unpredictable sometimes.

01:50But all in all, you know, my main focus for the next two weeks.

02:01Hi, Sacha.

02:02Looking back to the last three months,

02:05did you have more expectation in terms of your results or level of playing?

02:11Yeah, I mean, before Munich, obviously, my level of play wasn't great.

02:16But there are reasons for it.

02:18I think not taking time off after Australia was a big reason for it.

02:23I felt like I burned out a little bit.

02:27You know, tennis is a tough sport.

02:29We play a lot.

02:30We travel a lot.

02:31We don't give, first of all, we don't give our bodies rest,

02:34but we also don't give our heads rest.

02:35Like, we don't give, we don't get mental rest.

02:37So I needed that a little bit.

02:40But, you know, I'm on a good path.

02:44I won a tournament, you know, two weeks ago.

02:45I kind of, I cannot forget that.

02:49And I have to focus on the positives.

02:52Sorry, I came in late.

03:03I hope nobody asked.

03:04But about getting back to the electronic line calling issue,

03:08we saw what happened in Madrid.

03:10You must be pleased, I guess, that in Paris, at Roland Garros,

03:17they still have, you know, they're still going to have the lines.

03:20Oh, they still didn't have that?

03:21I believe this year they still have them.

03:23Well, it screwed me last year.

03:26So you can't win either way, I guess.

03:28Well, I can, I can win, but last year the chair empire did screw me.

03:36So it's just a fact.

03:40But to be honest, I liked the electronic line calling.

03:44I think there was absolutely no mistakes in Monte Carlo.

03:47I thought there was no mistakes in Munich.

03:51I think there was something wrong with the system in Madrid.

03:55But I just personally put that down to the Madrid tournament, right?

04:03I think the weeks before it worked perfectly fine.

04:05And it was, you know, mistake-free kind of.

04:09So I still think that it's the right way to go forward, too.

04:14But when mistakes happen like this in Madrid,

04:16then maybe they have to readjust it for the next day

04:18and maybe they have to readjust the system a little bit.

04:21But all in all, Monte Carlo, Munich, it was working perfectly fine.

04:28Do you think there should be more wiggle room

04:30if there's something that's so glaringly wrong?

04:35Look, the Madrid case, I mean, there was obviously a mistake there.

04:39It was not only the shot, the Fokkin I hit.

04:42It was also the serve I hit, you know, because it was a game point.

04:46So I went to the other side after that and I saw the mark.

04:49The mark was clearly out also.

04:54Look, I don't know.

04:56I don't have the solution.

04:57But Madrid definitely didn't work well.

04:59The system didn't work well.

05:01But then again, in Monaco and in Munich,

05:04the system worked better than humans would, right?

05:07because there was no mistakes at all the entire week.

05:11So it's, yeah.

05:13I don't know how to answer that question.

05:17It's not for me to decide.

05:19But when it's clear like that,

05:21then maybe the umpire should be able to come down from the chair.

05:25If we're talking about millimeters, then no.

05:27But if we're talking about, you know, three, four, five centimeters, then maybe.

05:37Media and people talk a lot about the number one in the world.

05:41And everybody says it's a dream.

05:43But it could be an obsession as well?

05:46It would be one number one.

05:49It would be nice.

05:50I don't know.

05:51I have not been there.

05:53But I believe I will.

05:55So we'll see.

05:57We'll see how it goes.

05:59I do think also, you know,

06:01the media also loves to put players down.

06:03So I had bad two months before Munich, right?

06:08I didn't play great tennis before Munich.

06:12And all of a sudden,

06:13I'm like the worst world number two in the world ever.

06:19I don't deserve to be there.

06:21I'm there because I won tournaments.

06:23I'm there because I have results.

06:25And the ranking system doesn't lie.

06:28I mean, you get points for winning matches.

06:30You get points for winning titles.

06:31And, yes, I know I didn't play up to my standard.

06:35I know I didn't play up to what I wanted to do.

06:38But neither did Carlos.

06:42You know, and then he won Monte Carlo.

06:43And then there are periods in the player's career.

06:48Do you think Novak is happy with his results?

06:50Do you think Carlos is happy with his results?

06:51I'm not happy with my results.

06:53But at the end of the day,

06:54for big matches, for big moments,

06:56I still believe that the top players will rise.

06:58And I still believe that I'm going to find my tennis

07:00for the biggest tournaments.
