Alexander Zverev returned to competitive tennis at the Diriyah Tennis Cup and it was a positive experience for him but also one that showed he has a long way to go.
Zverev won his first match against Dominic Thiem but suffered a heavy defeat to Daniil Medvedev in the next one. He also played a doubles match losing that one too. Overall though it was a positive experience for him which he talked about after the event. He mentioned the match against Daniil:
"I am happy to have played two matches. I was happy to be able to compete at this level and play with Danil. Of course, the first set wasn’t great, but that was to be expected, but I was happy with the level and also how I was moving in the second set. It shows that I am on the right path. I know there is still a long way to go. My foot is healthy and I and I am fit to compete."
He also had a good time playing the doubles as well:
"It’s always fun to be sharing the court. It’s different being on a singles court. We have played a lot of singles matches, so it’s nice to play a doubles match for a change."
