Zverev critique l'état des courts du Masters de Rome après une élimination surprise

Alexander Zverev a connu une sortie spectaculaire au Masters de Rome, s'inclinant face à Luciano Darderi en huitièmes de finale. Le numéro 3 mondial a perdu 1-6, 7-6(10), 6-0 après avoir manqué quatre balles de match lors du jeu décisif de la deuxième manche.

Zverev, double vainqueur du tournoi romain, a imputé sa défaite à la mauvaise qualité du court. « Pour être honnête, je pense que c'est le pire court sur lequel j'ai jamais joué », a-t-il déclaré lors de sa conférence de presse d'après-match. Il a souligné que la balle rebondissait de manière imprévisible sur une balle de match et roulait sur une balle de break, rendant un jeu cohérent presque impossible dans des conditions venteuses.
