You served 87% of first serves. You won 19 out of 26 points [on first serve]. You still lost 6-4.What do you say to yourself in these occasions? What could I have done better? It\u2019s unplayable?\u201d<\/p>\n Zverev:<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s not unplayable. I had many opportunities. He had one [in the second set], he used the chance. This is why he\u2019s No 1 in the world, you know? He uses the chances that he gets.<\/p>\n It was a high-level match. He just used his chances much, much better than me. That\u2019s why, in the end, he won both sets.\u201d<\/p>\n The 28-year-old was then asked what he can do to get closer to Sinner.<\/p>\n \u201cNumber one is to stay healthy and injury-free. This year was a nightmare for me injury-wise. All the time I had something. It was difficult for me to improve when I always had to try to get healthy. This is number one thing,\u201d Zverev said.<\/p>\n \u201cLook, of course I think it\u2019s quite easy for you guys to ask these questions because the score says 6-4, 6-3. If you look deeper into the match, I really believe that it could have been more than 6-4, 6-3, so\u2026 Don\u2019t always judge it by the score.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Toni Nadal\u2019s honest verdict on whether Jannik Sinner is \u2018Novak Djokovic 2.0\u2019<\/a> The post Alexander Zverev shuts down Jannik Sinner \u2018unplayable\u2019 question after ATP Finals loss<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alexander Zverev has addressed whether Jannik Sinner is \u201cunplayable\u201d after his straight-set defeat to the world No 2 at the 2025 ATP Finals.
