I don’t believe you

Zverev said he didn’t deserve to loose in straight sets. He indeed was better player that day. 🫠

I’m not going to say that he tanked the match, but I don’t think he played the best match today. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.

It’s clear he tanked. I don’t believe he came into the match wanting to tank, but when he lost the first set the idea popped.

In the 9th game of the second set it was clear. He missed wide open court forehand at the net to give 2 break points, then he saved one of them with no reaction, not a fist bump he even looked sad and then ended with a double fault with second serve going 10cm out being deliberately risky on a breakpoint.

He probably wanted to rest before SF and from a tennis perspective it is a good decision for him but to do that as a world number 3 is a bit odd. Jannik showed that he has much bigger balls and I hope he wins their match tomorrow. Cowardlike behaviour with 0 fighting spirit shown. Really lost respect in my eyes (I’m sure he will cry for days knowing that I lost respect for him) but anyway a bitch move.
