"I didn’t have the best season" - Zverev happy to make it to London despite not having the best season

One of the most discussed topics is the presence of 4 players under 23 years at the ATP Finals. Those are Zverev, Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Berrettini. Many are speaking about some generation exchange and Zverev also spoke about the new talents.

“Some of the young guys aren’t here yet, but there is a very strong group of younger players. Two years ago, when I had my breakthrough season and I played here for the first time, I didn’t expect to make it here as quickly. Daniil [Medvedev], with the year he has had, has been amazing, but it’s maybe been a little bit of a surprise for people. I think we’ll see more surprises to come.

“There will be unexpected results and some guys winning the bigger tournaments, which we haven’t seen for 10-15 years. The next two or three years will be very exciting as you’ll still have the Big 3, who are still consistently better than us — a true fact, and the young guys, who are improving quite quickly.”

Last season's ending was perfect for Zverev. He advanced from the difficult group at the ATP Finals and then did not lose a set to Federer and Djokovic to lift the trophy. This year he will be facing Tsitsipas, Nadal and Medvedev in the group stage and he spoke about his season:

"As everyone probably knows I didn’t have the best season I wanted to have, but I’m still top eight in the world and made London,” said Zverev. “A lot of people would dream of that, so being with these guys is an unbelievable honour and I wanted to come back here and give myself a chance to retain my title. I want to play some good matches as well.”
