Zverev: 'I may become No. 1 at the end of season if I win all matches'

[Tennis_Freak99]

9th June 2019, Stuttgart : "I’m looking forward to the tournament here”. Asked when he could become the new world No. 1, Zverev, laughing, concluded: "At the end of this year, if I win all the matches I play..."

13th June 2019, Stuttgart: First match since the interview- Alexander Zverev lost his opening-round match in Stuttgart, to Dustin Brown, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-3.

He couldn't have timed it better! But in his defense, he did lose to the GrassGoat Dustin Brown!

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

He was supposed to say last week he doesn't know if he will play on grass. Worked like a charm for the guy who finished as number 1 last year.

Yes, and communism works


Seriously?

 

[Raining hopes]

Peak Jeff Goldblum right there. And people say everyone gets better with age

 

[BigServer1]

Zverev has become my least favorite player of all time.

So never. Right.

 

[Mark Asher]

Zverev has become my least favorite player of all time.

"ABZ, easy as one, two, three..."

And he goes down to giant-killer Dustin Brown. Brown can play himself some tennis on grass.

 

[Jonesy]

As a Zverev fan i wish him to retire. He tried to copy Djokovic and ended up only with the worst aspects of his game. His brother at least kept some dignity in his game even with less stellar results.

 

[BorgTheGOAT]

Zverev has become my least favorite player of all time.

Same here. But Brown is one of my favourite players.

 

[bjsnider]

Can't rise to the #1 ranking without giving a damn about it.

 

[Standaa]

Doesn’t that apply to me as well? And you?

And everyone?

 

[DRII]

he probably just a little burned out...

 

[DSH]

Dieser Clown kann nicht auf dem Rasen spielen, ich werde Spaß mit ihm haben und ihn für eine Weile leiden lassen.

[EloQuent]

The sad thing is that he will eventually be #1.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Dustin Brown has a lot of fans even if he not a top 10 player! Just his flash, style of play and general background is very enticing such as living in his car and hunting for food to eat because he had a daily budget.

Also, the dreadlocks

I was watching Brown play a few years back on a small field court and after every single point that Brown won this guy would yell out "Rasta Tennis !" After and hour or so of this routine it became incredibly annoying but still funny.

Does the ATP allow pot use?

Probably would fail a drug test like cocaine.

 

[Wander]

Dustin Brown is just great. I wish this forum would talk more about him than about Zverev.

Dustin actually has a pretty impressive record against top 10 ranked players with 5 wins, 12 losses (29.4%) considering his own ranking.

That's better than Alex De Minaur.

What sort of fan wants his player to retire at the ripe old age of 22 when his whole career is still ahead of him?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Never happening. Literally.... NEVER.

Do we now assume he won't become #1 at end of season?

And that was his coach talking???

It seems Zverev requirs humiliation and I believe he proves himself perfectly capable of doing that himself time and time again.

So you don't think he can become world no 1 in 2019?

 

[DreddyTennis45]

This guy is the Genie Bouchard of the ATP. Had one decent year before everything went downhill

 

[Red Rick]

I have a bigger chance of accidentally dating Doutzen Kroes.

 

[Gerco]

This guy talks way too much.

 

[EloQuent]

He's still world #5

Ya, but his highest rank was #3. Just down hill like Bouchard

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

This didn’t take long to not age well

 

[Deon Sanders]

Zed proving day in and day out that he is one of the most unlikable players in ATP history

May officially be worse than Andrew now

Maybe a bit harsh on Genie. After all she made a Slam final and semis at all 4.

Dustin Brown's ATP record before his match with Z:
60–97

https://twitter.com/x/status/1139145401347559426

He just beat world #5 Z for his 61st win. Of the previous 60 wins, he had 2 against Nadl (2:0 vs. Nadl) :

Upset artist of the highest caliber.

 

[Alba Barragan]

I don't know if people in this forum are really *that* stupid, or just pretend to be stupid.

What Z said was a joke. Nothing more. Even a 3 year old toddler could've get it. But sure, don't let that get in the way of your hate

 

[Red Rick]

He's still world #5

Thats how bad the ATP is

 

[beltsman]

Lol people cannot take a joke

Zverev working all you marks HARD

 

[MugOpponent]

I love a good mock Zverev session as much as the next guy, but yeah he wasn't serious about winning all the matches. If anything it almost makes him more likable that he realizes how bad he is. I miss the days when Zverev carried himself like he was always Imaginary Peak Zverev out there on the court.

Of course it was a joke. He has a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not sure why the bro's don't like him.

Imagine the folks on here when Zverev inevitably wins his first major.

You have got great taste!

 

[Tennisbg]

He is right, probably even Baghdatis will become Nr 1 if he wins all matches until the end of season.

 

[Alba Barragan]

Imagine the folks on here when Zverev inevitably wins his first major.

I can't wait for it to happen. Main reason why I'm still in this place
