Team Germany - 1
THE MODERATOR: We'll start with questions for Jaume, please.
Q. That was so close. It was a match that could have gone either way. Your thoughts on playing that match, missing out in two tiebreaks?
JAUME MUNAR: Yeah, well, first of all it was a tough match mentally. I didn't feel like the level of the match was so high. We were serving good. I couldn't play my best tennis, especially at the tiebreaks from the baseline. I couldn't make it.
If I have to be honest, the biggest mistake or the biggest chance I had was when I was a break up in the second, I had the feeling that I was leading the match. Then suddenly two easy mistakes.
As you saw, couple of too many mistakes on the second tiebreak. That's pretty much the match today. Really looking forward for the doubles. Nothing else.
Q. Zverev is No. 3 in the world. Everybody thought he should win almost all his matches I don't say easy, but... What do you find are his weaknesses? You were very close. You said you missed some forehands in the tiebreak that maybe you shouldn't have normally. Why do you think he's not so dominant like some think?
JAUME MUNAR: First of all, the tour now, it's so close for everyone. The daily matchup, you see how it goes.
Sascha, of course, is a very, very top player. At the end of the year everybody is saying that he did not play the best tennis during the year. But he's 4 or 3 in the world right now, so imagine.
It was close today because everything is close. Let's put in another side, maybe Jannik and Carlos. All of the rest, I think we are playing face to face anyone.
Of course, he can struggle a little bit with the forehand sometimes. He can be a little passive. But he has an incredible weapon, which is the serve.
I don't know, matches are like this. I feel like any matchup now in the tour, it's pretty much the same. It's very close because the level is high. Of course, we have two guys on top of that. The rest, I think we fight each other.
