Alexander Zverev gets slammed by David Goffin

David Goffin didn't like Alexander Zverev's attitude during their quarter-finals match at the Rome Open on Friday that the German player won in three sets. In particular, Goffin didn't like Zverev changing his racquet several times, and so losing time between points, which influenced Goffin's focus.

'He doesn’t care a bit about others,' the Belgian told press when it was after 1:00 AM. Goffin also said that he felt that he was the better player during the match. He wasn't successful with how he was broken back in the third set.

Goffin lol.

What has Goffin ever done, exactly?

he's an undersized, scrappy player. plenty of talent, just like every other touring pro. ultimately not someone who'll matter in the history of the sport. the OP clearly has an anti-Zverev agenda for whatever reason and was willing to amplify the opinions of a marginal talent to that end.

More than 99.999% of people who ever pick up a tennis racket.

What have you done?

Strawman. You can say that about any professional.

Doesn't stop you or this forum from whining about them lol

Zverev almost got as many M1000's as Goffin does career titles.

Goffin is butthurt

Oh and just to add, this is comparing Goffin to Zverev, so what do I have to do with it exactly? Zverev falls in your 0.0001 percent of being better than Goffin.

I hate to be the guy to say this but who cares what David Goffin has to say about anything
Goffin lol.

What does it matter what Goffin has "done"? That's not what this is about at all. He's saying something about sportsmanship and you're saying something about results. Two different things:confused:

For all the bs about "OMG WHO DA **** IS GOFFIN WHAT'S HE DONE" that's basically dumbass celebrity worship and to tennis players the same applies to any other person. Look at how they treat their equals, not their superiors. The fact that Zed can suck **** for Nadal and Federer and show them respect is rather meaningless.

Goffin hasn't earned the authority to whine. This forum makes up their own parameters for why Zverev is "arrogant" - attributes their darlings also have.

Goffin is salty a player 6 yrs his junior has accomplished far more.

I'm glad we got the final we did today and not Goffin getting double bakery products.

Are you gonna address the point?

Fact is there's a population of colleges of Zverev who have played him on the ATP circuit who can give a first hand account of what his behavior is like when you play him, and within that population it the total accomplishment of the player doesn't matter at all.

Sour grapes!

Seriously though, Goffin is jealous that a guy several years younger is already much more accomplished.

Goffin is one man. One mans opinion. Whose platform comes from a position of weakness. Whining after a loss is never going to not sound like sour grapes.

Just like when Federer whined like a baby after Djokovic beat him at the USO in 2011.

You and @Red Rick are Murray and Fognini fans.

Two of the whiniest players in the sport.

By that logic you should like Zverev, no?
This isn't even relevant. How many times have people spoken out against Murray being an arrogant ****** or whatever? Same for Fognini.

You might as well say that Andy Roddick is a tennis player, Zverev is also a tennis player, so I should be sad any time Zverev doesn't win Wimbledon.

i get you but i think you're wasting your time with these people

zed could steamroll to the RG title in straight sets and destroy everyone on hard courts later in the year and this crowd would still be calling him a "fake next-gen lucker punk" who's only winning because fedal are weak, old, arthritis, ate too many bean burritos the day before, etc basically every BS excuse under the sky just to discredit him

his racket work on the court will do the talking in the coming years...
