Quick Quotes

A. ZVEREV/A. Tabilo

6-2, 7-6, 6-2

Q. You're still talking a lot with your box and your team. Which aspects of your game are you most comfortable with, and which aspects will you have to work facing Darderi?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: Well, I think today was definitely much better than the last couple of days. I think I improved a lot from the baseline.

I was not happy with the second set. I think especially the end of the second set I lost focus a little bit. I was not moving as well. I was not playing as well. But I think the first and third sets are big improvement to the other days. I'll try to focus on that.

Q. Looking ahead to Darderi in the next round and just the men's draw going forward, how do you feel about your form?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV: I think I'm showing improvements. Again, as I said, I think it was definitely an improvement to two days ago.

Of course, the draw is not going to get easier. We have 16 players left in the tournament, so I'm expecting tough matches, but I think, I hope my form is also improving and I can show it on the court.
