In the lead-up to this match, the German spoke to the media and gave some words about 'Juanpi'.

“I've seen him play once against FAA in Paris, then I couldn't see more because I was out of the tour. He climbed quite quickly in the rankings last year and achieved some good results on clay,” Zverev began.

“But the main thing is to focus on myself, get my form and every opponent is important for that,” said the current number 2 in the ATP rankings.
