    Alexander Zverev has stopped following Sinner and Alcaraz on Instagram.

    Yes, but before doing so, he said, “Good luck the rest of the season!” 😄

    Actually, I wonder why he unfollowed them?

    Annoyed at having to always lose to the two golden boys?

    No shame for Zheng losing to Tarvet. Tarvet is a stellar player who has already played Alcaraz tough at Wimby.

    Steve, and the other three? )

    I have been watching a lot of college hightlights lately but I don’t know those other three guys but if they are Div 1 then of course their UTR ratings will be quite high.

    Steve and it’s hard for Zheng because for everyone he plays now in college it’s the biggest match of their lives and for him he has to win, pressure balance is all on Zheng. He should have realized this was the reality and went pro after AO. Going backwards steps was an error. The future is on Atp tour not in college.
