My Masters 1000: Juan Martin del Potro

Zverev Refreshed And Ready For Strong Run In Shanghai

Alexander Zverev has enjoyed an amazingly successful year on the ATP World Tour. But if you ask him, he still has plenty left to achieve. While many players may be starting to fatigue physically and mentally from the rigours of the season, the 20-year-old German, who last week clinched his spot in the Nitto ATP Finals, says he has more in the tank. “I'm going to go out there, I'm going to try my best, play every match, you know, full and we'll see how it goes,” Zverev said. “I'm ready for the upcoming events. I'm ready for this one. I'm ready for the next big ones in Europe, and obviously London, as well.” After a disappointing second-round loss at...
