“Yeah, I mean, I think after Australian Open I have to say I did some mistakes because the Australian Open for me mentally was very difficult because I did feel like I could win the tournament,” explained Zverev.

“Losing in the final to an incredible Jannik… I mean Jannik outplayed me on all different levels. I have to be honest with myself also. It was mentally very difficult. I was very sad about losing another final.

“I got home and I basically went to practice straight away the next day. I didn’t give myself enough time to process what happened. I didn’t give my mind time to kind of just really chill out and do me first, right, kind of take care of myself first. I didn’t do that at all. I went to the practice court straight away. I went to South America straight away.

“I think the results of the last few weeks have been a result of maybe bad decision making by me, by my side, yeah. In a way, I was also a bit lucky that I lost first round in Indian Wells. Of course, I didn’t want to lose at all. You never want to lose. But it gave me two weeks’ time. It gave me two weeks’ time to breathe a little bit. It gave me two weeks’ time to work on things, as well, because I was really not playing well.

“There are certain things in my game that I could always rely on. I couldn’t even rely on them in Indian Wells. I had time to work on my game. I had time to work on my mind a little bit, as well, hopefully start off fresh and do well here.”

With Zverev admitting his mistakes from the Australian Open, he revealed that he did something differently following his early exit at Indian Wells.

Following his loss to Tallon Griekspoor, Zverev explained that he wanted to get away from the tennis world from a bit, but remained in California for a few days.

“Where was I? I was in Indian Wells,” said Zverev. “We stayed at a beautiful resort there until Thursday or Friday, I’m not sure anymore, the second week, then we came here.

“I stayed there. I was not on-site. I did everything in private and was away from tennis world a little bit.”

Zverev will look to continue his progress at the Miami Open when he plays his third round match against Australian Jordan Thompson.

It will be a fifth meeting between Zverev and Thompson, with both players getting two wins apiece in their head-to-head so far.
