Alexander Zverev is unhappy with his court scheduling

Alexander Zverev criticized the organizers of Roland Garros for giving him just a solitary match at Philippe-Chatrier, the main court at Roland Garros. In stark contrast, Alcaraz has played three out of his four matches there. Notably, the world number 1 Novak Djokovic and Spanish legend Rafael Nadal have got two and three games each on the main court.

Zverev made it clear that he understands that Djokovic and Nadal have won 20 and 21 Grand Slam each, and hence deserve their chance to play at the main court. But favoring Alcaraz over him has disappointed the German.
