Zverev, who\u2019s still looking to win his first major title, spoke his new approach to tennis at the pre-tournament press conference in Miami. \u201cA lot of players want to be aggressive, but it\u2019s not easy to apply this kind of tactic. I\u2019m trying to adopt a different game starting this year and I\u2019m aware that it\u2019s a long process, which requires patience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m managing to be more aggressive at certain times, but I still need time and I can\u2019t be effective all the time. I am willing to accept some losses because I am confident about this path. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s the right thing to do at this stage of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n
