Tennis icon Andre Agassi has sent a warning to Alexander Zverev about a \u201cdirty little secret\u201d he learned after winning his first Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n
World No 3 Zverev<\/a> defeated Flavio Cobolli in a tension-filled five-set championship match at Roland Garros last week.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old German\u2019s triumph ended his wait to win his maiden major title after he had lost finals at the 2020 US Open, the 2024 French Open and the 2025 Australian Open.<\/p>\n Like Zverev, Agassi lost the first three Grand Slam finals he played (French Open in 1990 and 1991, and US Open in 1990) before winning his fourth (Wimbledon in 1992).<\/p>\n Speaking on TNT Sports\u2019 Roland Garros coverage, Agassi asserted that winning changed \u201cnothing\u201d for him in terms of pressure after making his major breakthrough.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can win a Slam\u2026 does it really change your life? You can say it, it\u2019s easy to say, but I don\u2019t know if it does,\u201d said the former world No 1.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have had a lot of one Slam wonders, that have done some incredible \u2014 I\u2019m sure they\u2019re thrilled they won.<\/p>\n Why Alexander Zverev\u2019s Roland Garros win is one of the most impressive Grand Slam victories in recent memory<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n ATP Rankings Race To Turin: Zverev overtakes Alcaraz, Djokovic drops to 13th, Cobolli jumps to 4th<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

So you gotta deal with it, you gotta bring it on Sunday like you did at the start of the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n During the event, Agassi praised Zverev for consistently reaching the latter stages at majors.<\/p>\n \u201cHe deserves a lot of credit for always having a say at the end of these events,\u201d said the American.<\/p>\n \u201cCome rain or shine, the guy is there \u2013 if you get enough looks, it\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that winning a Slam is a binary moment in a player\u2019s career.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are people that have one and there are people that don\u2019t have them. To a large degree, you have to respect his fortitude of all the years, coming up short but always putting himself in position.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Rafael Nadal reacts to Alexander Zverev\u2019s Roland Garros triumph in 33-word message<\/a> The post Andre Agassi makes \u2018dirty little secret\u2019 comment in warning to Alexander Zverev<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tennis icon Andre Agassi has sent a warning to Alexander Zverev about a \u201cdirty little secret\u201d he learned after winning his first Grand Slam title.
