"His box were over the top" | Alexander Zverev | Fourth round Press Conference | Wimbledon 2024

good evening welcome to the press conference for Sasha Zev please raise your hand if you would like to ask a question Sasha tough day for you today I know but just give us your thoughts on on how you're feeling and in that match it could be feeling better but uh all in all I'm I'm proud that I that was fighting till the end and um yeah obviously not not an easy loss but it's it's is questions in English uh how's it going um can I ask about the chat at the end at that at the net um you guys obviously respect each other I was curious what you I think we're all curious what what you guys were talking about your knee no no um I mean me and Taylor we we grew up together right uh playing each other since Juniors and um I think it was fairly obvious that that I wasn't 100% Today right um you I wasn't I wasn't moving really the entire match I wasn't running for Drop shots or if I was running for drop sh I was limping there more than than running but um and then towards towards the end I mean the I thought from the from the fourth and fifth set I was really struggling to serve as well to to jump off on my leg and to create some power and um his team team his team is extremely respectful I think his coach uh his Physio and um also his second coach they're they're extremely respectful but I think there are some other people that maybe are in the Box um that are not maybe from the tennis world that are not maybe from particularly you know watching every single match and they were a bit over the top but um that's okay there's no no issues no uh no drama um he fought back from two sets of love so they're obviously all excited all very pumped up um yeah but but no no issues with Taylor I think Taylor is is is a great guy and um I have I have absolutely no issues with him any further English questions Willie what are your thoughts on the way Tor played and what his future might hold on the grass in this tournament there's there's two ways I can answer that question first obviously great that he came back from two sets to love down um respect I was on one leg today so he is playing great I think he is also going to be in the semi-finals uh of of wiland I I do expect him to to win in the quarters um but also I I do know that the match was not high level I mean it wasn't it wasn't a particularly great tennis match you know it was like well there wasn't really long rallies because I couldn't I couldn't play long rallies um there wasn't really physicality because I mean but again it was all coming from me I mean I I just couldn't do that so I know that you know yeah credits to him that he came back but it wasn't a a great tennis match you know so just one followup and that's about you what are your thoughts on the condition and what you'll be doing to learn about what you need to do to get better I mean I know I know what it is uh I did an MRI yesterday I have uh bone edema in my knee and then I have also a um a tear in my capsule in my knee so that came from from the fall that came from from uh the match against Nori so um bone edema bone bruising whatever I don't know the the terms English to be honest but some something with a bone um so it is quite painful for for for that period of time but it is nothing that I need surgery on it is nothing that um doesn't heal by itself so it just needs time um I do know that also I had a great opportunity here at wimbl so I didn't want to pull out yesterday I couldn't practice at all yesterday I couldn't walk even today I felt much much better so that's why I I did try to play um I also knew that you know I did have a great opportunity this year at wi bind was the best I've probably ever felt on on the Wimbledon courts and um the best maybe I've ever played here so I definitely didn't want to you know go out without fighting but you know at the at the same time I was limited and uh it is how it is I'm still proud of of what I could do today I I think I got the maximum out of it uh of of what I could do and um that's okay as well you know and I have to move on okay one more one more about the injury you have a pretty big title coming up that I'm sure you want to defend uh at the Olympics you have any concerns about being getting in shape for that I have three weeks and from what I understand um it's it's going to be fine and in shorter period of time yeah okay thank you very much we'll switch to German questions now
