World No.7 Alexander Zverev recently emerged as the winner of the Mexican Open 2021. In an exciting contest, he defeated the top-seeded player Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to win his first title of the season. The final scoreline of the match was 6-4, 7-6(3).

Alexander Zverev will now be playing at the Miami Open 2021 starting this week. The German player will be starting the tournament as the third-seeded player after Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Fans are quite disappointed that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Dominic Thiem are not playing at the Miami Open this year. Zverev too expressed his opinion on the same and mulled on what it would be like to play in a big tournament like Miami Open without the Big Three.

“[There are] still a lot of great players to beat. You can’t really say that just because those three guys (Big Three) are not there, it’s going to be an easy tournament to anyone,” said Zverev in a recent interview.

Zverev clearly believes that although the Big Three are not playing in Miami, it’ll still be a difficult tournament. He claims that there are still a lot of great players playing there who won’t be easy to beat.

“A lot of players are looking for opportunities”- Alexander Zverev ahead of the Miami Open 2021

Zverev highlighted that with the absence of the Big Three, the Miami Open 2021 is the perfect platform for many youngsters to shine. He feels that it’ll be a great opportunity for many players, including him.

“[It is] a tournament where a lot of players are looking for opportunities, for chances. But, we still have great players there. We have Medvedev, we have Tsitsipas. I think I’m a three seed there,” added the Mexican Open 2021 winner.
