I think it was one of the best performances of my life. I think I missed three shots in the entire match and it is not easy against a tricky player like Daniil. I think the game plan was perfect and my weapons were working.

Yet, it wasn't going to be easy, given that Zverev was the one standing in the way. The world No. 3 has been absolutely untouchable in this setting, going undefeated as a member of Team Europe in the five previous Laver Cups that he's played. The German also boasts a decided head-to-head advantage 8-2 over the Australian, who was a last minute replacement for Team World after American Frances Tiafoe bowed out due to injury.

Zverev faced heckling about domestic abuse allegations during a match, requesting the chair umpire to remove the spectator who yelled derogatory comments towards him.
