Alexander Zverev points to his 2016 Halle semifinal win over Roger Federer to prove he can succeed on grass.
Alexander Zverev has not forgotten one of his greatest victories on grass.
As the German, after his first round in Halle, discussed his recurring difficulties on this surface, he wanted to remind that he has already beaten Roger Federer on grass.
« I beat Federer here when he was at his peak »
Questioned about his complicated relationship with grass, Zverev admitted that this surface remains the one where he feels least comfortable:
« It is the surface I find most difficult. It is probably the one on which I have had the least success in my career. »

But to illustrate his potential on this surface, the former world No. 2 immediately cited a memorable memory:
« I have already beaten Roger Federer here when he was, let's say, at the peak of his career (in the semi-final in 2016). So I know that I can also play very good tennis on this surface. »
