After the match, there was a bit of chatter from Team World players as they discussed what Alexander Zverev was saying post defeat.

Post defeat, the German told that it would be the last point Team World’s going to win this season. To that, John Isner wanted to take revenge against him and appeared to have said, “I want to make this personal”

As the discussion was going on, John Isner himself tweeted that it wasn’t what he said during the meeting.

“That’s not what I said but go on”, commented the American.

Things got heated between the two teams at the end of day one as Team world players were all eager to give their best on the next day.

But, things didn’t seem to go their way so far on the second day. Nick Kyrgios lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first match of the day in straight sets. But, Isner has a chance to produce his best against Alexander Zverev in the second singles match of the day.
