Alexander Zverev disagrees with media: 'Andy Murray is not a boring guy'
In a press conference at the Australian Open, commented on retirement from tennis. The German said: Obviously hes one of the best guys on tour outside the court.
Hes always super nice to be around, super nice to kind of be in the locker room with. The media always kind of puts him as a boring guy who doesnt give interviews well or something like that. No, hes actually one of the funniest and coolest dudes out there.
We as players, the amount of support he got, as well, you can see how much we really like, really appreciate what hes done. So I hope he can really enjoy the last few months and just have a happy retirement. Is there something other ATP players can do to get similar support from the women? I mean, this is a way deeper question.
I dont know. I dont know the answer to it. I would like to think Im popular, but maybe for different reasons (smiling). Im kidding, of course. Dont take it too seriously. Look, hes always a very supportive guy for equality, kind of for female rights, which I think in our sport we really show that we all are.
Our sport is one of the only sports where you have equal prize money, Grand Slams. You have actually true equality. Sometimes we even say we play five sets, they play three sets, but its still equal prize money. Im very proud of that.
Im very proud of that as a tennis player. Im really proud to say really I play a sport where, you know, it doesnt matter who you are, it doesnt matter where youre from, you have the same chances, women or men.
For me, he always says it publicly. I support him with that actually. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
