No. 2 Zverev 'cannot force results' in bid for first Slam
The Straits Times
|November 05, 2024
PARIS - Alexander Zverev said he will "let the results come to me" as he targets a first Grand Slam trophy of his career in 2025.
-
The 27-year-old German won the Paris Masters on Nov 3 by comprehensively beating France's Ugo Humbert 6-2, 6-2 to earn the seventh ATP 1000-level title of his career.
However, the new world No. 2 has not won one of tennis' four Majors, finishing as runner-up at the French Open in 2024 and the US Open in 2020.
"I have goals, for sure. The goals are quite obvious for everyone. For me, right now, it's about improving my game. And the results, I will let the results come to me," the Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medallist said on Nov 3.
"I cannot force the results. I didn't come here this week thinking 'Oh, I for sure want to win this tournament'. No, I want to improve, I want to get better. This is a process of a few months, and I'm improving for next year already hopefully."
After suffering an ankle injury in the Roland Garros semi-finals in 2022, Zverev's return to the top has been slow.
