Alexander Zverev on the ESPN broadcast on his terrific performances in 2026 Slams:
💬 "At the end of last year, I did your podcast, which is called Nothing Major, and I decided to have some Majors in me, because I didn't want to do that podcast again. Look, sometimes things just go your way. I've had a lot of struggles at the major level, I was so close so many times, and maybe this year God has said that this is going to be your year and just enjoy the time on the court. I'm enjoying it a lot playing these big finals, and I can't wait until Sunday."
Alexander Zverev spoke on the ESPN broadcast about the changes that helped him reach the U.S. Open final:
💬 "Yeah, after the second round at 3 a.m., I was sitting with my team in the locker room and we were laughing at how bad I was playing. That sense of humor, that helped me. The next day on the practice court, I was hitting the ball a lot better. Moving forward, I was playing much better tennis and I obviously have improved a little bit, otherwise I would not be in the U.S. Open final."
There's definitely an argument that Zverev's been the best Slam player on the ATP Tour this year.
