Lost in the dust in Monte Carlo: This line from Zverev about how he thinks his rivalry with Medvedev can never live up to Federer-Nadal… …because ultimately Medvedev isn’t going to be likable enough?
"They were always fair to each other": Zverev thinks Medvedev's lack of sportsmanship quells Nadal-Federer rivalry parallels

In and amongst the interview that Alexander Zverev conducted surrounding him calling Daniil Medvedev 'unfair' and believing he was cheating in their Monte-Carlo Masters tie was the German saying why they could never be the next Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal rivalry.
Zverev believes it is due to that lack of respect, sportsmanship and that Medvedev isn't as likeable as those two in terms of fan base support which he said is also a shame for him as an athlete.
"The rivalry we have is incredible. We've played each other so many times, but one of the reasons why Roger (Federer) and Rafael (Nadal) were so popular and the rivalry was appreciated all over the world was because they were always fair to each other," said Zverev.
"Unfortunately you can't say that about him and that's just a real shame for me as an athlete."
