Alexander Zverev

Press Conference

A. ZVEREV/D. Goffin

7-6, 6-2, 6-2

THE MODERATOR: Well done, Sascha. Please talk us through your match. Very tight first set with David playing really well.

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: Yeah. I thought it was a good match. Maybe didn't play my best in the beginning but I thought he was playing very uncomfortable for me. It was not easy at times for me, but managed to get through and happy that I did.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. I want to talk about the weather conditions and if it does impact your game. I was talking with Zizou that you play more spin, more flat. Does it have an impact for you?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: Yeah, for sure, heat is very important. I have said it a lot during this clay court season. I think the warmer it gets the better it is for me, but the ball bounces extremely low. You know, obviously you don't get a lot of speed on your shots, but I felt like I managed well. I managed well.

Of course everybody wishes for sunshine, everybody wishes for better weather. That's something that we cannot control.

Q. Are you going to follow as a day-by-day progress of the case against you which start tomorrow during the tournament? How do you deal with the attention generates by this trial?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: I have said everything before the tournament.
