Zverev: “In 2022 I want to win a Grand Slam and be number one in the world”

Alexander Zverev has concluded a 2021 season in which the German tennis player has grown a lot both on and off the court. In an interview with the ZDF chain Zverev was open-minded when it came to taking stock of his results on the track and also the problems he had to face off the track.

One of those problems was the battle that Zverev won against his former representatives. “I’ve gotten older, I’ve been through situations in my life that have worried me, and I’ve started to learn and deal with it. Now I know that every decision I make is mine. At a young age I had no control over what they did. “

Zverev also spoke about allegations of domestic violence by his ex-partner Olya Sharypova. “I have fought for a year with the ATP for an investigation into the allegations against me for domestic violence so that the matter is clarified. I am glad that all this is over, they told me that it will not take long. And we are also taking action in Russia against the people who have accused me. I made it my goal to come out stronger in moments like this. If at the end of the day you don’t believe in yourself, who will? “

Regarding the sports plane, the Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020 is already looking at two great objectives for the next season. “There are two goals for 2022 that I have not reached yet: win a Grand Slam and become number one in the world. And I hope all of this will happen after the Australian Open. “

Finally, Zverev also wanted to give his opinion on the case of the Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai. “I am not a politician and I do not know exactly what is happening. I hope that more details will come to light about what is happening with Peng Shuai and that, after this, the ATP will say something about it. and do something. We live in 2021 in Germany and we believe that there are no longer things like this. But this shows that dictatorships are still a reality in this world. I think the tennis organizations and the ATP will take care of the Peng Shuai problem. “
