I will probably play the Olympics with Angelique Kerber, says Zverev

In press conference at the Australian Open was asked if he is considering playing mixed doubles on a more kind of regular basis in the slams or Olympics. The world No. 4 paired up with at the Hopman Cup in the last years and both times they lost to Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic in a mixed doubles match for the title.

Thats the best question Ive gotten as a first question ever, said Zverev smiling. In Olympics, I probably will, with Angie hopefully. But, no, not in tournaments. Because Olympics you play for a gold medal.

Zverev also reiterated that he will play the Davis Cup tie against Hungary in Germany on February 1 and 2, but he will not compete in the final stage. I actually played all the Davis Cups in the last few years. I think I qualify on that regards.

I still will not play in November because in November, in that time, I am in the Maldives in the sun, not playing Davis Cup. Zverev is upbeat about the expectations people put on him: I always enjoy playing. I always enjoy competing, playing the sport that I love.

Theres always a lot of pressure to it, always the question of, When are you going to win a Grand Slam? I came to London before, and I wasnt playing my best. I lost to Khachanov 6-2, 6-1. I lost to other guys. I really wasnt playing well.

I came to London saying, Look, its the last tournament of the year, were all tired, you want to go on holidays. I want to enjoy it as much as I can. Im playing the best players in the world, Im going to see how it goes.

At the end of the week, I won the tournament. I kind of learned out of that. I kind of figured out I have to have the same mentality when I play at slams. I hope I can achieve that. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
