Zverev was quoted recently in a report where he stated optimism that he will be able to go through fatigue and cement his spot in the mega event.

“I think I've been playing well over the last few months, actually,” he said. “I have a goal of mine, I want to be one of the best eight players and I want to be in Turin. And that's why, you know, I think I am tired, but I kind of forget that I am, I need to kind of power through it.

“And so far the Chinese swing has been good. I mean, I won title and made semis in Beijing, I feel like I played very good tennis there as well. And we'll see how Shanghai goes.

Zverev has had a mixed year while playing in the big competitions this year. The highlight of 2023 for the Hamburg-born came in the French Open where he played in the semifinal but lost to Norway’s Casper Ruud in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-0.
