We are in the last few months of the season and there are still some great tournaments to look forward to this year we as fans have all been happy to witness some great performances from these players. In fact, we just had one of the best Laver Cup events which went down to the last game of the event where we saw Team Europe win their 5th title winning by a score of 13-11.

There have been some great matches at the Uber Arena including the match between Alexander Zverev and Frances Tiafoe. Though we did see Zverev struggle in the initial phase of the match, he still made a big comeback to get Team Europe back in the game. This was arguably one of the best matches we have ever witnessed in the Laver Cup and a great comeback from the German after suffering a disappointing loss against Taylor Fritz on the 2nd day.

Though this was one of the best moments for Zverev this has not really been a season full of blessings for him at all where he has still suffered some fitness issues throughout his career. The German number 1 has also gone on to attack the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) over their scheduling of tournaments saying " There is no sport in which so much is played, it cannot continue like this. It puts the health of the players at risk, it is inconceivable that a season begins on December 29 and ends in the second week of November."

These are some harsh words from Zverev where he has also further added to his statement on protesting against the organisation stating " It's all about money here, it's the only thing that matters for the ATP, we players have no decision-making power. OK, what would you do? Tell me. No, seriously. Many times journalists come here to ask us things that are impossible to answer, now I want to know what you would do."
