Alexander Zverev does not make excuses. In fact, when talking about Jannik Sinner, he almost ends up giving up even before stepping on the court. His latest statements reveal the mental burden that the world number one has now assumed over him, after a series of defeats that seem to have completely changed the German’s perception.

Then he goes into detail about the fundamental that, according to him, transformed the Italian champion. “Before, his absolute weak point was the serve: it always seemed like you could fight in every game on his serve. Now instead you have the feeling of playing points only on your own serve.” This is perhaps the most significant admission. Because said by a player who has just won the Roland Garros and holds the second place in the world ranking, it almost sounds like a psychological surrender.

Zverev today knows he can compete with anyone, but when the draw puts Sinner in front of him, the thought inevitably goes to those 10 consecutive defeats. And breaking that wall, even before being technical, seems to have become above all a mental problem.
