Alexander Zverev lost his champion of 1000 Masters in Rome on Wednesday. German fell into the quarterfinals against Italian Lorenzo Musetti 7-6, 6-4 at a party filled with tension where the papers were lost.
The reason for his anger is the balls used in the contest, overwhelming and heavy For his taste, because they punished the type of tennis he was conducting.
After the game he explained his position at a press conference. “Now the balls are a joke. Generally, this is an issue we have talked about in the last three or four years. Players keep talking about it, “he mourned.
“They said we were playing the same ball in Monaco, Madrid and Munich. Then we could get here and quite different. It is very difficult to make winning blows. So are things right now“He added.
“Of course, for me, for my gaming style, now it’s not easy, because after all I’m still trying to play aggressively. I’m still trying to get very fast. That’s it. It’s hard to get free points. “
But Zverev went on and also had a message for his rival Lorenzo Musetti. “I don’t know. I think he’s playing the same when he plays with whipped land. Greatly depends on the defense and mistakes of their opponents“He said.
“Now I’m worth a lot to hit the winning blows. Very slow, very heavy. The balls are getting so big. Although I have opportunities, I won three set points … Four on the first set with my service. I should win that set and then we’ll see. Yes, as I said, it’s hard now“German is grieving, which will disappear from the next Monday the second place of ATP ranking for the benefit of Carlos Alcaraz.
