Qualified for the third round of the Australian Open after a very quiet victory against Pedro Martinez this Wednesday (6−1, 6–4, 6–1), Alexander Zverev was asked about his future opponent at a press conference .
This is the Briton Jacob Fearnley (23 years old, 92e world), winner of the Frenchman Arthur Cazaux and who has an atypical curriculum as the German rightly pointed out.
“I saw him play against Nick (Kyrgios) a few nights ago. I saw him play against Novak (Djokovic) at Wimbledon. That's about it. But I know he's a young college player who has climbed the rankings very quickly. This means he plays excellent Tennis. I can't wait to face him for the first time. I have tremendous respect for players who take that path, who kind of choose the hard route to get to the professional tour. He did it, he took all the steps. He deserves to be in the third round of a Grand Slam tournament, and I'm looking forward to it. »
