Stefanos Tsitsipas returns to Rotterdam: ‘He has been one of the audience favorites for years’
“Alexander Zverev is one of the players who fit the philosophy of the ABN AMRO Open to give young top talents a chance, so that you create a bond with them at an early stage,” said tournament director Richard Krajicek in a press release.
“In the case of Zverev, he came to Rotterdam in 2015 as a 17-year-old. The fact that he has now included us again in his annual plan as number 3 in the world shows that he feels at home,” said Krajicek.
Earlier, Tallon Greekpoor, Alex de Minaur and Stefanos Tsitsipas also promised their participation.
