Alexander Zverev is looking to enjoy his experience in Turin as he looks to capture a second Nitto ATP Finals title.
Zverev had an immaculate second half to the season winning five titles including winning at the Olympics.
Despite pushing Novak Djokovic all the way at the US Open, Zverev once again failed to make a grand slam breakthrough and will look to improve that in 2021.
However the German will look to once again prove that he’s one of the best players in the world as he joins the other best seven players in the world at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.
Zverev now wants to enjoy his first time being in Turin after a hard-fought season, “You have to enjoy it, because being here means you had a fantastic season and you’re among the best eight players in the world,” the German told atptour.com.
“It’s all about enjoying the moment and trying to be the best you can be on the court, but also enjoying the privilege of being here. I’ve won five titles and I’m the only player who has won multiple [ATP] Masters [1000 titles] this year.
“It comes with good tennis, also, at the Olympics, I won a gold medal. I am looking forward to this tournament. I didn’t come here just as a participant, but I want to win matches and do well here.”
Zverev will be joined by Daniil Medvedev, Matteo Berrettini and Hubert Hurkacz in the group stages.
The German believes that his group is the tougher out of the two, “Our group, I think, from what I see, is maybe the tougher group,” Zverev claimed.
“Simply because on an indoor hard court, the players in the group are extremely difficult. Hubi [Hurkacz] is playing extremely well, Matteo can play well on this surface and Daniil can play well having won this title last year.”
Zverev will take on home favourite Matteo Berrettini in his first match on Sunday evening.
