In between, he won a Grand Slam in Paris, which gave him a lot of confidence," Sinner said."He is a tough player to play against. He was before, but now even more. He's very relaxed on court at the moment."I will try to do the best I can but it's going to be very, very tough - very different than all the other matches we have played."For so long it appeared Zverev was destined to end his career as arguably the best men's player never to win a major title.But the 29-year-old ensured he will avoid that tag by prevailing against Italy's Flavio Cobolli in the Roland Garros final - his 41st appearance at a major."I stay focused. I stay hungry. I want more. I want to continue playing at the best level and continue winning. On Sunday I have another big chance," said Zverev."Once you win a major you know how to do it and you feel like you can do it again. "You have this feeling inside of you."To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be play...
