Jwerev Says Victory Was Product of Years of Hard Work

In a candid interview after his first‑round win, Alexander Jwerev credited his French Open triumph and his US Open aspirations to relentless preparation. "I think the win was the result of the hard work I’ve put in over many years," the German said.

He reflected on past setbacks, noting that he often fell short in crucial moments. "Maybe that’s why the fifth set against Flavia felt different – I was finally ready to win," Jwerev added. "I’m happy with that feeling and now I want to bring it to New York."

With the tournament’s draw reshaped after Novak Djokovic’s surprise loss, the spotlight now turns to a possible final featuring Jwerev and Spain’s Carlos Alcazar.
