Despite his semifinals at the US Open, Alexander Zverev must hear harsh criticism in New York. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova doesn’t believe in a win for the German.
After the victory in 4 sets against Borna Coric, Alexander Zverev is in the semifinals of the US Open for the first time in his career. And with neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal present, and Novak Djokovic has already been disqualified from the tournament, the 23-year-old’s chances of a Grand Slam title have never been better.
If one of the greatest tennis players in history has his way, the title will not go to Zverev this time, either. Because despite reaching the semifinals, the German has not yet shown his best tennis. “You just can’t hit the ball like that. Okay, this is how you win games against smaller players who just don’t want to lose. But you will not win majors that way ”, was the clear announcement of Martina Navratilova according to“ Sport1 ”. The 18 Grand Slam winner accompanies the US Open as an “Amazon Prime” expert.
“I am not interested in your opinion”
Zverev’s response is swift. At the press conference after the victory over Coric, the Hamburg man made it clear: “I’m not interested in your opinion at the moment. Maybe I should look at my stats against the great players and see that they are positive against Roger and see that I have beaten Novak several times in the big games and in the finals. “
Zverev will then meet Spaniard Pablo Carreño-Busta at Flushing Meadows (Friday, 10pm).
