Taylor Fritz was asked about Alexander Zverev’s comments on his player’s box, but he didn’t want to make it a big deal.
After their match at Wimbledon 2024, Zverev criticized the behavior of Fritz’s player box but also mentioned that he generally has no issues with Fritz or his team, calling them respectful. However, things escalated when Fritz’s girlfriend posted something on social media, likely in response to Zverev’s remarks.
Fritz didn’t want any part of the drama. He won the match and focused on that. When asked about Zverev’s complaints during the press conference, he downplayed the situation.
> “I mean, at the net, like, it’s no big deal. I think he felt that he was for parts, I guess towards the end of the fifth at least, kind of limping around a bit. I think he was annoyed at some people in my box just being loud, cheering for me. Honestly, I can’t hear. I don’t know. Like, no big deal. He said it’s nothing towards me or anything like that.”

Cheering Controversy
Zverev’s main issue was with some loud cheering from Fritz’s box. But Fritz himself didn’t hear anything unusually loud as sometimes he can’t even hear what’s happening on court.
Fans might think this is just another case of players getting too sensitive over crowd noise.
In conclusion, although Fritz acknowledged that Zverev had a right to be annoyed if his box was too loud, he made it clear that it wasn’t a big issue for him.
> “I don’t really hear my box when I’m playing like that. I didn’t hear anyone being extremely loud. He’s totally allowed to be annoyed if they were being annoying. Like again, I don’t know. That’s one of the things I asked him at the net: Who was it? Yeah, I mean again it’s not a big thing; it’s all good.”
What do you think about this situation? Do you side with Fritz or Zverev?
