“To finish the year No. 7 in the world is incredible" - Zverev sums up his season

Alexander Zverev finished his season after losing to Dominic Thiem in the semifinals at the ATP Finals in London.

Last year, Zverev was able to finish the season by lifting the trophy in London. This time, he lost in the semifinal match to Dominic Thiem 7-5 and 6-3. After the match he said:

“The match was, I thought, pretty even. Dominic obviously played very good from the baseline,” Zverev said. “But today I was playing with no returns, actually. I was returning really bad and didn't put a lot of pressure on his serve. And when I did, he was coming out with good serves, good points. Credit to him. I played a bad game in the second set, and that match was over a few games later.”

Zverev won 42 matches out of 65 played and won 1 title. He finshes the year as number 7 in the ATP Ranking and can sum up the season as successful.

“To finish the year No. 7 in the world, for me, with all the things that happened to me and with all the things that were happening is actually quite incredible. I didn't think I would. In that point, you can see it in a very positive way,” Zverev said. “Of course, I was very disappointed, because I wanted to win more tournaments. I wanted to play better at the big tournaments.”

“After the US Open I started playing much, much better. I hope I can take that into next season, and we will see,” said Zverev.
