‘I feel awesome!’ overjoyed Zverev looks on to Rome and Roland Garros


Alexander Zverev is in high spirits after claiming the 2021 Madrid Masters title by defeating maiden finalist Matteo Berrettini.

Alexander Zverev came from a set down to triumph over the Italian 6-7 (8-10), 6-4, 6-3 in the longest final at the Caja Magica to date.

“Rome is also an event I like and enjoy,” Zverev said following his victory. “So I hope I can perform [in] the same way as I did here and we will see how it goes there. I feel awesome.”

The title is Zverev’s fourth Masters 1000 title overall and first since winning Madrid in 2018. The German defeated Roland Garros favourites Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem back-to-back in straight sets en route to the final, something that will garner some confidence ahead of Paris.

“To do well at the French Open, you need to be playing well during the clay-court season,” Zverev added. “That is in a way important for me, as well.”

 

 

“At the end of the day I won a Masters. There’s really very little in terms of bigger than this one right here.

“I’m happy with this achievement. Obviously, yeah, I look forward to the next few weeks. I look forward to what’s ahead.”

Alexander Zverev will face either Hugo Dellien or Adrian Mannarino in the second round of the Rome Masters (as a top seed he receives a first round bye)
