"A lot of people have to slow me down"

Tennis pro Alexander Zverev on his rapid rise to the number three in the world rankings, his relationship with Germany - and books by Stephen Hawking.

Interview by Gerald Kleffmann for Süddeutsche Zeitung on November 11, 2017

Alexander “Sascha” Zverev became the best German tennis professional at the age of 20. In the world rankings, the player from Hamburg comes in third, and this season he won tournaments in Montpellier, Munich, Rome, Washington and Montréal. Zverev will be competing at the ATP finals in London from Sunday, with the top eight players taking part in 2017.

SZ: Mr. Zverev, recently the German player Julia Görges revealed a secret: She likes to make tax returns and would have worked in this area if she hadn’t become a tennis player. Sascha: Well, I don’t like to do that (laughs). SZ: Your passion is the game “Escape Room”, where you have to solve tasks to escape from a room. Sascha: Oh, yeah. That’s what I love. Wherever I can play it, I’ll make an appointment. I do it everywhere, in America, Australia, France. We are usually a group of players, but my Physio Hugo is often there, too. SZ: What fascinates you about this game? Sascha: Logical thinking. I like the fiddling, combining, the strategic approach. You come into a room first and you have to find things. For example, a red cross and a blue triangle and a black something. Then you’ll have to connect everything together according to a specification. You have to work a lot with numbers, there’s some math to it. Recently at the tournament in Vienna I played it five times with my fellow players.

Dominic Thiem: The WTF Blue Steel Compilation

the blue steel

First selfie of the night - all dressed up!

Why a tournament that is meant to be focused on the future of tennis would choose to regress in that manner is truly beyond me? Who thought it would be a good idea to handle the draw that way? And what kind of message are they sending to the young fans they are trying to attract to the sport?

This is an event featuring eight players aged between 18 and 21. How about the ATP – and co-organisers the Italian Olympic Committee and Italian Tennis Federation – focus on the great values the sport stands for rather than instill sexist, antiquated behaviour in their so-called ‘NextGen’?

If they wanted to go with the theme of Milan being a fashion capital of the world, there were many ways they could have done so without being wildly sexist and inappropriate.

It reflects a complete detachment from reality on their part, especially in this day and age.

Please everyone. Call out ATP and NextGen on twitter, insta, snapchat etc

wow well done for being openly sexist during a really big sexism debate

Congrats to Jack Sock! Amazing week with unbelievable winners, great power and attentiveness, looking forward to his performance in London 🎉
