Zverev admitted having made bad decisions and not taking care of himself: “I didn’t give my mind time …”

Alexander Zverev It is, behind Jannik Sinner, the second best player of the whole season. Located in the second position of the ATP world ranking, the German tennis player played, at Australian Open 2025, his third Grand Slam final. However, at the moment you cannot break the curse and continue without titles Major In its showcases. And after the Oceania contest, he admitted to having made mistakes after a great mental wear made in Melbourne.

At a press conference, after the victory in the Miami Open 2025 over Jacob Fearnley, the best racket in Germany was sincere and admitted to having made mistakes after having added a new defeat in one of the most important tournaments on the planet: “I think that after Australia’s open, I must admit that I made some mistakes, because it was very difficult for me mentally, I felt that I could win the tournament. Losing the final against an incredible Jannik … He surpassed me in all aspects. To be honest, it was also very difficult mentally. It saddens me a lot to lose another final.”

After having made a great tournament, Zverev did not take any rest. A week later it flew towards Argentina to play the ATP 250 of Buenos Aires, where it said goodbye surprisingly in the quarterfinals, despite being the top candidate. “I got home and went to train directly the next day. I didn’t give me enough time to process what happened. I didn’t give my mind time to simply relax and take care of myself first. I didn’t do it at all. I went to the training court directly. I went to South America immediately,” The German said very sincerity.

From that moment on, his walk in the circuit became irregular: quarterfinals in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, second round in Acapulco and early elimination, in his debut, in Indian Wells Masters 1000. “I think the results of the last weeks have been, perhaps, bad decisions for me” commented.

However, he did not see with bad eyes the early farewell of California, where Tallon Griekspoor took him in three sets after winning the last two in Trebreaks: “In a way, I also had some luck when losing the first round in Indian Wells. Of course, I didn’t want to lose at all. One never wants to lose. But he gave me two weeks of time. He gave me two weeks to breathe a little. He also gave me two weeks to work on some things, because he was not really playing well.”
