Alexander Zverev has returned to competition since the start of pre-season exhibitions after his serious right ankle injury suffered in the semi-final against Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros.
The German is well aware that he is far from being back to his best level, his pre-season preparation has not been so bad as he even treated himself to Novak Djokovic’s “sclap” at the World Tennis League, despite two subsequent defeats in the United Cup.
However, the current thirteenth player in the world has obviously still not digested his Parisian injury because he considers that he was playing the best tennis of his career and that he could have won his first Grand Slam tournament.
“I’m not in the shape I was in Paris. I could have won Roland‐Garros. I could have been #1. I’m not at that level. That doesn’t mean I can’t change it.” said Alexander Zverev.
“Sascha” trains 3 to 4 times a day in Melbourne to be ready when he returns to the court where he will challenge the Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas, 104, in the first round.th world player this week.
