[Reporter Wu Mengru/Comprehensive Report] German player Alexander Zverev won two Grand Slam championships this season and climbed to the top of the world rankings. However, he was constantly asked whether he benefited from the injuries of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. In response, Zverev asked the reporter unhappily: "Is this a sin for you?"

A reporter asked Zverev, "You won two Grand Slam championships, but you didn't face Sinner or Ekaraz on the way to the championship. It's not your fault that you didn't meet them in the draw, but many fans believe that before you play against these two favorites, To be ranked No. 1 in the world when your record is at a disadvantage is a "wrong thing." In response, Zverev said angrily, "In your eyes, is this a sin?" If you think it is not, "Then why do you still ask me this question?"

The reporter then added, "Because many people are struggling with this matter, this is a controversial topic." Zverev said: "Let me tell you this, standing on the court, all I have to do is face the opponent on the other side of the net and try my best to win the game. Sinner was in Pakistan Leigh's state collapsed, and Elkaraz lost to Sheldon in Flushing Park. By the way, it was Sheldon who I defeated in the final. I look forward to playing against them again next season. What else can I do?"

The ATP Year-End Finals will be held on November 15. As the favorite to win, Zverev seems quite calm. He said: "I feel good about being regarded as the favorite. I am full of motivation, but I don't feel that I have anything to prove." He will also challenge for the third championship in his career after reaching the top twice in 2018 and 2021.
