German top seed says 'I have to find my game' after losing his Indian Wells opener
-
INDIAN WELLS - World No. 2 Alexander Zverev, beaten by Tallon Griekspoor in his Indian Wells opener on March 7, said "terrible" play has pushed thoughts of supplanting Jannik Sinner atop the rankings out of his mind.
The German was the top seed in the prestigious ATP Masters event in the California desert as world No. 1 Sinner serves a belated three-month doping ban.
Zverev, runner-up to Sinner at the Australian Open, said the Italian's enforced absence had at first had him harboring ideas of climbing to the top. But they are now fading with his game.
"Now it's less, because I'm just playing terrible," said the 27-year-old, who also suffered early exits at Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Acapulco before his disastrous Indian Wells second-round showing.
He was the first Indian Wells men's top seed to lose his opening match since Andy Murray in 2017.

Trump in the spotlight, Asean in the shadows
Mr Trump and Asean operate differently. Ms Susannah Patton, deputy research director at Australian think-tank Lowy Institute, said in a commentary that he is “a leader who emphasises his own unique deal-making genius to reshape international affairs”, while Asean “prioritises consensus and incremental cooperation”. One thrives on command, the other on compromise.
