Alexander Zverev He said goodbye to the US Open this Tuesday. The German fell in the quarterfinals against American Taylor Fritz 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4 and 7-6 (3) in a match full of alternatives where he experienced a real roller coaster.
For example, He scored one of the points of the tournament with a spectacular pass to the side of the net which fell right down the line, a brilliant hit that earned him a standing ovation from the crowd.
But overall his performance was not what was expected.as he admitted in a press conference where he was very hard on himself.
“I played a lot. Only the service and everything else is good. From the baseline I played absolutely terrible. I don’t know. My backhand, I don’t remember hitting it that hard since I was on the circuit. I just can’t remember. I mean, I missed shots that were in the middle of the court without speed and behind the net. Terrible. It’s really bad for me,” he complained.
“My forehand is okay, actually. My serve is okay. But my most reliable shot, the shot I know well, wasn’t up to par today, and I don’t have words to describe it, to be honest,” he added.
“At one point I didn’t know what to do. At one point, there were so many questions in my mind. I had no idea if I should try, if I should put the ball on the court. Then I tried to put the ball on the court, but it went into the back of the net. I have no answers at this time. And don’t say Taylor doesn’t deserve to win. No, he really deserved to win today. I’m not taking anything away from him. His game is pretty good. “I didn’t do anything to deserve to win,” he concluded.
