Zverev, after beating Fils: “I absolutely love to play in France. I think you guys are an amazing crowd.” - Post-match interview in Paris

Alexander Zverev : ”I mean, every time that we played (with Arthur Fils), they were very high-level matches. He's an unbelievable player. He's super young still.nHe has the potential to be a Grand Slam champion. He has so much power on the ground strokes like nobody else. He's a nice guy.nnI wish him nothing but the best. He beat me in Hamburg, which is my hometown. So, unfortunately, I'm sorry I had to beat him in Paris.nnI love this atmosphere. I love when it's a full stadium. I love when it's super loud.nIt gives me, you know, great energy. Of course, I didn't expect, you know, German flags to be everywhere here. So, it was still fun to play.nnI always say that, you know, some players really struggle to play in France. They really struggle to play in Paris because the crowd is very loud. The crowd is very for the French players.nnTo be honest, I absolutely love it. So, the more, the better. I think you guys are an amazing crowd. I always enjoy it (the atmosphere with the Franch crowd).nnAnd I think every player needs to understand that we are in France here. When I play in Germany, the crowd is for me. When we play in the United States, the crowd is for the Americans. And it's totally fine. And I think all the players should understand that.”
