Awkward Moment on Court No.1
An awkward moment occurred at Wimbledon on Saturday when Annabel Croft interviewed Alexander Zverev on Court No.1. The German had just defeated Marcos Giron in straight sets and was praised for the speed of his serve. However, BBC interviewer Croft felt the need to apologise after Zverev's reaction to her kind words.
The former British No.1 pointed to the 17 aces served by Zverev and told him he had the fastest average serve at the tournament so far at 132 miles per hour. His reaction prompted her to dial back.
Zverev's Response
"How important is that going to be going forward, to try to get this title, and what's the key to it firing?" Croft asked. "Normally when people tell me these kind of things it always goes backwards," Zverev replied with a smile, prompting an immediate "Sorry" from the Brit.
The No. 2 seed continued: "I'm going to try to serve at 133 miles per hour next match on average so I keep that up. But when the serve goes in, it's always helpful, especially on a grass court."
