Frustrated Zverev Slams Ball Quality After Shocking Loss in Rome

Alexander Zverev Loses in Rome and Rages: ‘Balls Were a Joke’

German tennis star Alexander Zverev made headlines in Rome this week—not for his usual powerful baseline play, but for a fiery outburst following a surprising loss at the Italian Open.

Zverev, the tournament’s No. 3 seed, was stunned in a three-set battle by an unseeded opponent in the early rounds, failing to find rhythm throughout the match. But it wasn’t just the result that had him fuming. In his post-match press conference, the 2020 US Open finalist didn’t hold back in blaming one unexpected factor: the tennis balls.

“The balls were a joke,” Zverev said bluntly. “You can’t play proper tennis with these. They get fluffy after just a few games and completely change how the match feels. It’s not how the game is supposed to be played.”

The 27-year-old expressed frustration not only with the equipment but also with tournament organizers, claiming that inconsistent ball quality has become a recurring issue on the ATP Tour, especially during the clay season. “This isn’t the first tournament where this has happened. I don’t know why nothing is being done about it,” he added.

Zverev struggled with his timing and depth throughout the match, frequently misfiring on key points. Analysts noted that while his opponent played solidly, the German’s lack of control and visible frustration were significant factors in the upset.

This isn’t the first time a top player has spoken out about equipment concerns. Other stars, including Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, have occasionally criticized the balls used at certain events, citing performance and injury concerns. However, Zverev’s comments were among the most direct this season.

Tournament officials have yet to respond to Zverev’s criticism, but the remarks are sure to add pressure on organizers to review equipment standards—especially at a Masters 1000 event like Rome.

Despite the loss and frustration, Zverev remains a strong contender heading into Roland Garros. Whether he channels this disappointment into motivation—or lets it linger—remains to be seen
