MELBOURNE : Alexander Zverev made a spirited defence of embattled world number one Novak Djokovic on Saturday, saying his legacy will not be tarnished by the visa saga which has rocked the tennis world ahead of the Australian Open.
His hopes of winning a record 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open could be ended by the outcome of another court case on Sunday. "He still won 20 Grand Slams. He still has the most weeks as world number one. He still has the most Masters Series ."This is obviously not a nice thing for everyone, for him especially. But don't question his legacy because of this."
Zverev named himself among contenders to watch at Melbourne Park, along with U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and sixth seed Rafa Nadal, who is level with Djokovic and the absent Roger Federer on a record 20 Grand Slam titles.
