Alexander Zverev said Thursday the pressures of social media made it harder for the new generation of players compared to when the likes of Roger Federer were trying to breakthrough.

The German is among a clutch of players in their early twenties who are seen as the new guard to take over from Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

“I think it’s different than it was 20 years ago,” said the Australian Open seventh seed after he beat 98th-ranked Egor Gerasimov in three tough sets in the second round.“I think with the social media, I think with the mobile phones that we have, the pressure the media puts on us, other people put on us, we are more aware of it than 20 years ago.

“Now you open up Instagram, there are five million people that have an opinion about you all of a sudden.“On the other hand, with the guys like Novak, Rafa, and Roger, simply they’re better than us because they’re winning,” he added. “Even though when people say they don’t care, they still read it. In the back of their mind, they’re aware of it,” he said. “So I think that is a massive difference.”
