Zverev

ALEXANDER ZVEREV will play Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-final of the French Open on Tuesday.

But whilst German star Zverev is prepared to accept both players getting the top billing, he's taken issue with Alcaraz being afforded the same treatment: “We [Carlos Alcaraz and me] have Novak and Rafael on our side of the tournament. I am still the No. 3 in the world, but this is nothing about me," he continued. Three of his four wins have come on the showpiece Phillipe Chatrier court, whole Zverev, 25, has graced there just once.

Eurosport tennis expert Mischa Zverev thinks keeping Carlos Alcaraz behind the baseline could be the key for his brother Alexander Zverev.

Alcaraz absolutely dominated Zverev on the clay courts of Madrid and he will certainly enter their French Open meeting confident that he could deliver a similar performance. The only area where he has problems is when he is more than two metres behind the baseline. Earlier this month, Zverev was crushed by Alcaraz in the Madrid final as the Spaniard won 6-3 6-1.
