During his press conference after his second-round win over John Millman at the Australian Open on Wednesday, Zverev was asked to assess the chances of the top players in Melbourne in Djokovic’s absence.
In reply, the German insisted that while the World No. 1 was “probably the best” in the men’s game, players like him, Medvedev and Tsitsipas had proven with their credentials on the surface with top performances in recent months.
Zverev also tipped Rafael Nadal, who he could face in the last eight, as one of the players who could triumph in Melbourne this year.

During the press conference, Zverev was also asked to list the aspects of his game that made him so successful on hardcourt. The German was quick to point out that he has posted good results on other surfaces as well, except for grass.
The German will face Moldovia’s Radu Albot for a place in the fourth round of the 2022 Australian Open.
