I lost to Djokovic, not the 250th-ranked player, Zverev responds to critics

Alexander Zverev is currently competing at the ATP 250 in Stuttgart on grass, where he held a press conference and addressed the criticism he faced after Roland-Garros.

He stated: "When things aren’t going well for me, suddenly everyone becomes very smart. Unfortunately, Boris (Becker) is one of them.

I came back from a very serious injury to reclaim the world No. 2 ranking, and I still consider myself a serious contender against the top two.

Even if the last match wasn’t my best, I lost to Novak Djokovic, not to the 250th-ranked player."

Zverev will make his debut in the second round against either Corentin Moutet or Fabio Fognini.

You lost because you played stupid tennis. Everyone knows to run Djokovic as much as possible, especially in 5-setters. He was sucking wind like an old dog for 4 or 5 points after that 41 shot rally. You could have flat out owned him if you just kept running him. And easily won the match from there. Tennis strategy 101.

If you (SH321) are so smart, offer your services to Sasha, or even better, to Alcaraz, Siner or Djokovic.
Your tactics is great - for Nadal and Federer in best age or maybe some cyborg...
