Zverev

The mask has fallen. On the sidelines of his recent lackluster performances, Alexander Zverev has opened up sincerely about his physical and mental state. The player who had established himself as one of the serious contenders on the tour in recent years now seems on the verge of breaking point.

In an interview with our colleagues at Eurosport, the German stated:

"My season has been terrible. I no longer have confidence in myself and I no longer believe in my shots. I'm playing horrible tennis in every aspect. Let's see if this year I can manage to be fully healthy again. It's really tough; the last time I played a tournament without pain was at the Australian Open."

A statement that resonates as an admission of constant suffering. Since the beginning of the year, Zverev has been playing match after match, but not achieving results. However, as the Masters approaches and the season draws to a close, doubt looms over what comes next. Can he continue to compete with the best under these conditions? Or is it time for him to take a break, to rebuild himself, both physically and mentally?
