Zverev is all smiles on the court for his post-match interview.

On how he turned it around in the second set:

My serve helped me a lot in saving the break point. I am happy with the turn around.

On if he is especially happy with the win given that it was against Alcaraz, the world No 2:

I get along with him well, I’ve got no issues. Obviously yes, it’s nice to beat the best players in the world, and he’s definitely one of them. It’s special to win on this court again.

On what he was thinking when he fell, given his injury in the French Open last year:

I didn’t twist my ankle. I just slipped and maybe pinched my achilles a little bit, so it was nervy pain for a while but I don’t think any damage has been done. I hope not. Obviously, we will see when it settles down, but it was nothing compared to Paris
