ZVEREV on the Tokyo
A little Olympia Alexander Zverev also took up to the USA. In the white T-shirt from the Tokyo collection with the inscription Germany the gold medal winner answered the questions of the journalists after his final collection at the ATP tournament in Cincinnati. Also three weeks after his triumph of Tokyo, Zverev continues to float on the wave of euphoria and one week before the start of the US Open is one of the favorites on the title at the last Grand Slam tournament of the Tennis season. In the final of Cincinnati, he meets the Russen Andrey Rublev in the German night on Monday.
ZVEREV shows confidence
Last year, Zverev experienced the most bitter defeat of his previous career in New York. In a dramatic finale, German number one had to give the Austrian Dominic Thiem in five sets. Totally consured ZVEREV then left Flushing Meadows.
A year later he comes full of self-confidence and in top condition. The dramatic three-way victory against the Greek Stefanos TsitsiPas on Saturday (local time) was already his elf in series. In front of the US Open none of us wanted to give a bump, Zverev said after the thrilling 6: 4, 3: 6, 7: 6 (7: 4) against the number three of the world, which looks at the US Open will give even more confidence.
According to the injury-related cancellations of Rafael Nadal, Dominic Thiem and Roger Federer, Zverev calls me to the World Ranking First Novak Djokovic on the top candidates on the title. It would be Zverev's first grand slam victory, at the same time he would destroy Djokovics dream of winning all four Grand Slam tournaments in a year. After he had already defeated Djokovic in Tokyo in the semifinals.
Mystery rates around Djokovic
To the form of the Serb, there is still puzzling rates shortly before the US Open. Djokovic has not covered a match since Olympia, acted physically in Tokyo. But the Serb is especially motivated to New York travel. With the title at the US Open, he would be the player with most grand slam wins. In addition, Djokovic still has the confusion of last year when he was disqualified because he had shot down a line judge with a ball.
But ZVEREV takes care of everything, the native Hamburg does not seem to be able to worry about it. Against TsitsiPas he made a two-break backlog in the third set and could not stop by stomach problems. One week before the US Open to win such a game against one of the best players in the world, of course, does good, Zverev said with a smile on his face.
Kerber with good feeling
Angelique Kerber can travel to New York with a good feeling. The 33-year-olds, who had won the US Open 2016 and thus rose to number one of the world, had to be beaten in Cincinnati in the semi-finals of the Australian Ashleigh Barty, but also showed a strong performance against the world ranking first. I've played against strong opponents and won good games. I'll take self-confidence with New York. I feel good in the square, said German number one.
