Did Zverev Imply ATP Is Favoring Sinner Carlos?
5 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Bios
Alexander Zverev has reinforced Roger Federer’s recent comments that the tennis establishment is favoring Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner with special advantages and privileges, to help then reach finals of big tournaments. Zverev believes court speed manipulation is a strategy to favor Sinner and Alcaraz. This is what the 12-year ATP World Tour veteran said after his second round win in Shanghai: “I hate when [court speeds are] the same. And I know that the tournament directors are going towards that direction because obviously they want Jannik and Carlos to do well every tournament … we always had different surfaces – you couldn’t play the same tennis the same way on a grass court, hard court and a clay court. Nowadays you can play almost the same way on every surface.”

Now that’s rich that Federer would be making such comments. Like the establishment didn’t give him every special advantage under the sun?? 🤡

Yes indeed a bad look for RF’s image that he is taking unnecessary shots at his successors. Even after Carlos played his Laver Cup.

Even after Carlos played his Laver Cup.
I wonder why he’s doing this?

There seems to be a revolt against this Carlos Sinner installed duopoly. A lot of tennis figures are not happy about it and where the most boring rivalry in tennis history could take the game to.

Well, they’re right to be concerned.
