Some have forgotten that I can still play tennis," says Zverev after his final in Vienna

Despite his defeat in the final of the Vienna tournament, Alexander Zverev managed to hold his own against Jannik Sinner. A match that reassured the German about his level of play.

In comments reported by Ubitennis, he states: "Some have forgotten that even at full strength, I can still play tennis. It was a superb match, very balanced and of a very high level for both players.

I looked at the statistics and it was probably one of the best of the year. In the end, I was perhaps a bit unlucky, it could have gone either way.

He won today thanks to an incredible serve. If you consider the last few months and my performance this week, it's progress.

We haven't faced each other often in the last two years, once in Cincinnati last year and in Australia this year, and that's it.

Of course, I would have liked to win, but you have to keep a clear head, look ahead and tell yourself that, compared to how I felt at the beginning of the week, this performance is still on time.
