“There is two ways I can answer that question. First, of course, it is great he came back from two sets to love down, respect. (Pause) I was on one leg today. He is playing great, I think; he’s also going to be in the semi-finals of Wimbledon; I do expect him to win in the quarters.”
“But also, I do know that the match was not high level; it wasn’t a particularly great tennis match. Credits to him that he came back, but it wasn’t a great tennis match.”
Fans might feel mixed about this news since both players showed strong moments during the game.
One player moves forward with hopes of better performances ahead while the other heads home. Zverev likely saw this loss as more about his own struggles than Fritz’s victory.
