"Don't care who I play if I'm in the final" - Zverev not worried about facing Djokovic

| by Kadir Macar

Alexander Zverev might face Novak Djokovic in Dubai but he's not worried about it focusing on making the final.

Zverev has been slowly improving his level with every match and perhaps he might reach his maiden final this year in Dubai. Zverev was asked about facing Djokovic in Dubai and he'd like that because that would mean he's in the final which is a goal for him.

Yes (on whether he wants to face Djokovic in Dubai), because that means it's a final, so... I don't care who I play in the final if I'm in the final, to be honest right now.

The win over Lehecka was only his 3rd of the year as he still shows rust during his matches. It's trending in the right direction and him being able to turn this around was important to him. He also predicted to play better in the second set.

I think it obviously wasn't my best match, especially in the first set, but it was very important for me to turn it around. It was very important for me to find a way to win, especially at the stage I'm in right now. I'm happy I did that. I'm sure I'll play better in the next match.
