Alexander Zverev

I think I'm the first 1990-born guy to win a Masters 1000, so it's quite special to be the first one in a very strong group of guys. There are a lot of guys playing great, and hopefully there are going to be a lot more coming.

When I was growing up, I played a lot of different sports. There was a time when I was playing field hockey, tennis, and soccer at the same time. I was actually quite good at all of those sports.

Every good tennis player has to have a short memory. Good or bad.

I've been shadowing my brother since I was a little kid. Maybe that helped me feel more comfortable with the big guys.

There's no big secret to training. But different body, different training. With me, you have to build muscles but also stay flexible and stay kind of soft, which I am naturally.

Physically, the top players are on a different level to other players, and that's why they're on the top.

I think tennis is going towards the direction of powerful, hard hitters, and that's what us tall people are. We are trying to play very aggressive; we're trying to make a lot of winners, and, I mean, I don't know. That's what tall players kind of do.

I think the reason my relationship works so well with my dad is that we can separate our tennis lives from our personal lives.

I'm not going to change and get the emotions out of my game. It's important to have emotions in sport. If you don't have emotions, it's like you don't really care. Because if you care about something, you're always going to be emotional. Doesn't matter if it's sports or personal life.

I don't go out at all. I have my three restaurants that I go to, and that's it. I spend the least possibly time here on-site because that takes energy away as well. There is a lot of people, you know. It's massive kind of stadium, a lot of players.

I try to play the same way, play the same way over a longer period of time.

Booing - I never like it. We see it in other sports all the time, but in tennis, it's rare.
