Alexander Zverev makes brutally honestly admission about his ‘unacceptable’ level after Monte-Carlo heartbreak

Following his early exit from the 2024 Monte-Carlo Masters, Alexander Zverev didn’t hold back in his assessment of his current form, admitting that his level of play is “unacceptable.”

The German star suffered another disappointing defeat, continuing a worrying trend of early exits despite strong starts.

“I Stopped Hitting the Ball” – Zverev Reflects on Second Set Collapse

Zverev gave an honest breakdown of his performance during a post-match interview.

“What was decisive is that I played the first set very well, but once I lost my serve in the second, I started playing ten times worse,” Zverev said.
“My ball is very slow, I can’t move anything. I stopped hitting the ball—and this has been the same story for months. Nothing changes. Always the same. Again, it was me who lost the match.”

“I Don’t Know What’s Happening to Me” – Zverev’s Struggles Continue

The former World No. 2 admitted he’s at a loss over his recent form.

“I have no idea what’s happening to me right now. I’ve been trying to understand it for several months, but I don’t even know what to say anymore. I don’t know. All I know is that I’m losing matches—nothing more.”

Zverev pointed to a string of close, hard-fought matches that all ended in defeat as the most frustrating aspect of his slump.

“If I were to win two or three matches like this, fighting so hard, there wouldn’t be as many questions,” he added.
“But I lost in three sets in Buenos Aires, in Rio, in Indian Wells, in Miami, and now here. I haven’t won a single one—and that’s what matters.”

What’s Next for Zverev?

The Monte-Carlo loss adds to a string of frustrating results for Zverev, who is still searching for consistency and answers ahead of the European clay swing. With big points to defend and competition heating up, the coming weeks will be crucial for the German to rediscover his rhythm and confidence.
