Zverev's Bold Wimbledon Prediction: "No Reasons Why Not!"
Zverev as potential Wimbledon victor: A viable possibility - Contender Zverev eyes Wimbledon title triumph.
Alexander Zverev made waves at the trophy ceremony in Stuttgart with his intriguing comment. When asked if he was serious about his claim to win Wimbledon or if it was just a joke, the top German tennis player responded with a confident "no reasons why not!"
Buoyant Stuttgart Performance
Reflecting on his week in Stuttgart, Zverev expressed satisfaction, stating, "I got everything I wanted out of the week. If you look at everything, the week was more than positive for me." Ending his run at the final, losing to Taylor Fritz, didn't dampen his spirit. "Even though I lost the final, I’m very positive," he shared.
Taking Preparation Seriously
A heckler's shout during the trophy ceremony led Zverev to joke, "I’m going to win Wimbledon, don't worry." However, the German player made it clear that he sees his preparation for Wimbledon, which starts on June 28, as crucial. "I mean, Taylor, I think he takes this week very seriously," Zverev emphasized.
Halle Ahead
Zverev, who has never made it past the round of 16 at Wimbledon, now prepares for the Halle tournament starting on July 10. Facing American Marcos Giron in the first round, Zverev is optimistic. "Even though I lost a final, I'm still very positive," he reiterated.
