Eager to start fresh, Alexander Zverev hurried to be one of the first to go through the pre-tournament press conference. The German, world number two, is looking for the Miami Open 2025 to be a turning point in his season to break free from the negative streak he experienced during the South American tour. In the press conference, Sascha admits he is not at his best moment, but remains hopeful with the change of conditions.

Change of Conditions and His Current Tennis Level

"Miami is my favorite city in the United States," he began telling the media at the Media Day, as reported by the official ATP. "My favorite sports team is here with the Miami Heat, so I really love being here. I enjoy spending time here. The conditions are probably more suitable for me than in Indian Wells.

The courts are much faster. There is more humidity, so the ball stops in the air maybe a bit more than in the desert, but we'll see. I haven't been playing at my best level in recent weeks. I started the season well in Australia, now I've had a few weeks without playing my best, but I hope to turn it around here and show good tennis again."

His Philosophy for the Miami Open 2025

"I want to take it match by match and try to win every match I play. I've had very good training sessions here, so I hope to demonstrate it on the court. I also remember a bit how I played last year. I'll just try to show it on the court in the matches."

About Jack Draper and Holger Rune

"He has been playing well since the end of last year. He has been improving and is much more consistent, especially on the right side, which was always an unstable shot for him. He is definitely a good player. Indian Wells is a tournament that many players struggle with and others love. Unfortunately, I have always been more on the side of those who struggle. He has grown and matured a lot, and he deserves to be a Master 1000 champion. He also deserves to be in the top 10, so it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. I'm happy for him and also for Holger, who has had a tough time in the last 18 months, so I'm glad things are going well for him too."
