Zverev is looking forward to the top of the men's singles at the 2025 French Open, and the press conference will mention what bothers him more than the title race

Germany's Zverev, who finished runner-up in the men's singles at the French Open last year, will be looking to move to the next level this year, and he is also the fourth favorite to win the foreign market, behind Serbian Novak Djokovic, Italy's Sinner and Spain's Alcaraz seeking to defend his title.

Zverev, who is seeded second in men's singles, said in his pre-2025 press conference that he is more troubled than the title race, saying: "Now social media is more important than anything, we get a lot of hatred against tennis players, we suffer all kinds of insults on the Internet and social media every day, many of them through hidden messages. ”

Zverev mentioned that if he had withdrawn from the Hamburg Open last week, he would have been criticized a lot, "The outside world may accuse me of leaving without a game and say that I don't take the game seriously, but that's not true, I lost because I was sick, but tennis has always had a strong culture of blame, especially on social media." ”

Zverev warmed up for the French Open at the Hamburg Open, but he lost in the round of 16, saying: "Considering I threw up 37 times and had a fever of 39.4 degrees all night, which is actually not bad, and I was only two points away from winning, there are a lot of reasons to defend me." Zverev will face rising American star Learner Tien in the first round of the French Open, who made it to the round of 16 at this year's Australian Open.
