Zverev on Alcaraz: "It's very easy to play against him".

The Masters tournament in Turin gets underway on Monday, and the eight lucky qualifiers are already there to prepare.

Since Thursday, the players know a little more about what to expect, as the composition of the two groups is known.

On one side, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev will cross swords. On the other, it's Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Alex De Minaur.

The players appeared in groups at the press conference on Friday. A sequence that allowed us to observe a rare complicity between Zverev and Alcaraz.

Asked what he thought of the draw, and in particular of the presence of Alcaraz in his group, the German quipped: "Yes, it's great, I'd rather have Carlos in my group than anyone else.

It's very easy to play against him, especially in the big games. It's been proven that in Grand Slam finals, he's not that good...

No, he's never lost a Grand Slam final, has he? (laughs)"
