Zverev dreaming of Australian Open glory after victory over Wawrinka: "If I get to the finals this will be the greatest day of my life, but I like titles"

Zverev spoke after defeating the Swiss ace and admitted that while it feels great, he is dreaming of the end goal now.

“Feels awesome … I’ve done well in other tournaments, in World Tour Finals, won Masters, but could never make that breakthrough at a Grand Slam,” Zverev said.

“You cannot imagine what this means to me, I hope this will be the first of many … I did win the World Tour Finals. If I get to the finals this will be the greatest day of my life, but I like titles.”

He also spoke in depth about his turnaround and how he has come from playing poorly in the ATP Cup to now being in the latter stages in Melbourne.

“I worked very hard on it, worked a lot on it,” Zverev added.

“I hope you can see in ATP Cup I was horrible, but this is a Grand Slam and this is where you’re meant to play your best tennis and I’ve been doing that … my energy picked up a little bit.

“I was not quite used to his ball. I’d always played nights so I needed a set to get used to it.”
