Zverev announced he is no longer a new generation

In an interview just before the start of Roland Garros, Alexander Zverev said the expression `new generation` is no longer quite correct and has lost its meaning. It has been talked about for a couple of years, but I feel that the best of us are now, not the new generation. I am number three in the world at the moment, Shapovalov is also advancing and I think he will surely enter the top 10 soon. Despite his three Masters 1000 titles, including one this year, Zverev has never reached a quarterfinals or won a top 50 tennis player in a Grand Slam tournament. But following his presentation at the Rome final against Rafa Nadal, the German is convinced that it is just a matter of time and that`s what to happen.  `I`ve won games against great players in the Davis Cup, where the format is again 3 out of 5 sets so it`s the same for me. I have won against Kirjoos, Ferrer and other magnificent tennis players. We all know that at some point I will win a top 50 player and a Grand Slam race, so I `m not worried about that, explained the German. About the views of a number of experts, including Annabel Croft, that 21-year-old talent would be the most serious threat to the 10-time champion Rafael Nadal, Zverev said:`I do not think of a possible final against Rafa in Paris. The road is very long and there is no point in thinking so far in the future. I did it before and followed early losses.` Zverev began his participation in Roland Garros against Ricardas Berankis in an attempt to become the first German champion in Paris since 1937.
