Zverev's defeat in Stuttgart: Wimbledon chances despite cancellation?
Last weekend the final of the Stuttgart Open took place, where Alexander Zverev was once again unable to win his first lawn title. The German-born tennis player lost the match against the American Taylor Fritz 3:6, 6:7 (0:7). Despite the defeat, Zverev is optimistic about his chances at the upcoming Wimbledon Championships. In a press conference after the final, when asked whether he saw himself as a possible winner there, he responded with a well-considered “Why not?” to realize that he believes in himself. Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports that Zverev described the week in Stuttgart as “very positive” and reiterated that everything was for to have given his preparation for Wimbledon.
Zverev plans to continue his preparation in Halle, where his first opponent will be American Marcos Giron. Despite recent setbacks, such as his disappointing quarter-final defeat at the French Open, he remains fierce. In his career so far he has never been able to reach the round of 16 at Wimbledon. However, with players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who are considered strong competitors, it will by no means be easy for him.
