Zverev accusa Tennis Channel di favoritismo dopo l'eliminazione agli Internazionali d'Italia

Due giorni dopo aver attribuito ai peggiori campi su cui abbia mai giocato la sua sconfitta in due set contro Luciano Darderi, Alexander Zverev ha usato i social media per accusare Tennis Channel di favoritismo e di far perdere tempo ai giocatori con video promozionali.

La sconfitta di Zverev per 1-6, 7-6(10), 6-0 a Roma ha posto fine alla sua difesa del titolo e ha sollevato dure critiche sia sulla superficie di gioco che sull'emittente. Nella conferenza stampa post-partita, il numero 3 del mondo ha definito le condizioni del campo "le peggiori su cui abbia mai giocato", citando rimbalzi imprevedibili e vento forte. In seguito ha espresso ulteriormente la sua frustrazione online, sostenendo che Tennis Channel abbia mostrato favoritismo nella copertura dell'evento e che lo abbia costretto a girare materiale promozionale che riteneva non necessario.
