Press Conference

A. ZVEREV/C. Norrie

7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1

THE MODERATOR: Questions.

Q. Do you know your next opponent yet?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: Yes, I have seen it.

Q. What are you looking forward to with that matchup against Cerundolo?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: Hopefully a win. He's a difficult opponent for me. He's beat me three times. You know, last two matches that we played, I have won, both on hard courts, so I hope to make it three. I just hope to play same level or better than today.

Q. He had a good win today against Rublev. What about his game maybe gives you difficulties?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: Yeah, he plays quite heavy, especially with the forehand. He has a lot of topspin on it. He has a lot of speed on it. So I'm going to try to match that, of course, with my shots, as well.
