Zverev was asked if he thinks he can make it a Big Three with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz once Carlos comes back, ‘The last couple of years, I’ve always been the 3rd guy. I was just far away from those 2…’
“Do you feel even when Alcaraz comes back that you can keep challenging these two? Maybe make it a Big 3 in tennis?”
Zverev: “I hope so. That’s what I’m here to do. This year has been a progress. I think I’ve been pushing those guys. I haven’t beaten them this year but I’ve pushed them to the limits I’d say. Alcaraz in Australia and Jannik maybe here, even though it was 4 sets it was a close 4 sets. It could’ve gone 5 as well. That’s the goal. That’s what I’m working on my game for. There was always this conversation of who will be the 3rd guy? Kind of, the last couple of years, I’ve always been the 3rd guy. I was just far away from those two. But I’ve always been #3 in a way. If I can get close to them and can be in the mix of competing and winning the big tournaments with them, alongside them, that would be great.”
