feels disappointed after his mixed-doubles match loss with , to and . The German duo did not convert a match point and they were beaten in the decisive clash for the title for the second consecutive year. Its unfortunate because Roger was serving in the deciding point in the final and it was unlucky, but we were never really in the control of the rally though, so we were always reacting and it was difficult but I was happy to play with Angie again, it was amazing and last year we said we definitely wanted to comeback and try to win this title.

Coming so close it sucks right now, admitted Zverev. The 21-year-old had also lost to Federer in singles earlier during the day. We saw what he can do this year, he is still playing great, he played much better than me today and I still have a lot of work to do but its good to see him like this, confessed the Hamburg native. I was not serving and returning well, I was playing okay but the two major things.

I definitely feel that I have some room for improvement and I am excited to see whats ahead. Its still the first week of the year, I am not playing at my best but I am not playing at my worst. I hope there is gonna be still plenty of chances to play the Hopman Cup.
