German talent Alexander Zverev is on cloud nine after his recent success at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Over the years, the 24-year-old player has made constant progress, winning tournaments on a regular basis. However, his biggest accomplishment was on Sunday when he claimed the gold medal.?

After his Olympic stint, Alexander Zverev spoke on various topics. However, the one subject that stood out was when he spoke about the criticism he has received in recent times. In the past, people have not spoken as highly of the German player as compared to the praises Daniil Medvedev or Stefanos Tsitsipas receive.

To this, Zverev hit back and stated, “All tennis watchers and former players, they’ve always seen other guys be better than me. The point is, I won 16 titles, 4 Masters 1000, the London Masters, and the Olympic gold medal. So they can say whatever they want.”

Alexander Zverev has performed well as the season has progressed

Reflecting on Zverev’s season so far, he began his journey at the Australian Open but fell short in the quarterfinal against eventual champion Novak Djokovic. After that, he was the finalist at the Mexico Open but lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas.?

Zverev had a decent clay season. He beat players like Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem in order to lift the ATP Madrid Mutua Open. At the French Open, he lost in the semifinal to Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas. At the Wimbledon Championships, he performed below par as he crashed out in the fourth round to Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime.?

However, after winning the gold medal in Tokyo, Zverev will be high on confidence and can end the season on a high during the US Open Series. He was also the finalist at the US Open last year.?
