During the on-court interview after his victory against Lucas Pouille in the first round of the Australian Open, Alexander Zverev was asked to react to an alleged statement made by his older brother, Mischa (ex‐25^e world, quarter-finalist in Melbourne in 2017).

“He said he would beat me if he was at his best and so would I?” My brother won 1 title on the circuit (at Eastbourne on grass in 2018, editor’s note)I have 23. The comparison is a bit difficult. He was a great player, but if we both competed at our best, I think I would have my chances.”Zverev replied in front of his brother seated in the box, seeming to indicate that he had never made such comments.
