"The conditions were more favorable to him": Alexander Zverev after his defeat against Lorenzo Musetti in Rome

Alexander Zverev after his defeat against Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals of the Masters 1000 in Rome : "Today (Wednesday) it was complicated for me to hit winners. It was very slow, very heavy. The balls were getting very big, it was really a joke. With my style of play, it was not easy because I am someone who plays aggressively, who tries to serve very hard and it was difficult to get free points. I think the conditions were more favorable to him.

Despite everything, I had my chances, I had four set points on my serve in the first set. Normally, I should win a set like that. Yesterday (Tuesday), the match against Fils was of a very high level. Today, I think the level dropped. But that's how it is. I have to move forward and prepare for Paris (Roland Garros, May 25-June 8) to do the best I can there.
