I'm still number three – Alexander Zverev ready to go far at Wimbledon
The German is preparing to make his ninth appearance in the tournament and will face the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the first round.
En route to the Championships Zverev was in action at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, where he reached the semi-final, prior to which he lost to Taylor Fritz in the final of the Stuttgart Open.
'I had pretty good preparation. Played a final, played a semi-final, worked through those tournaments as well,' he said.
'I think people are forgetting I'm still number three in the world and I'm number three in the race.
'I've had a few maybe losses here and there, which were normal, (some) which were maybe unexpected.
'All in all, I feel like my form has been coming back the last few weeks, few months.
'I'm looking forward to this championship. I think I can play well here.'
Stefanos Tsitsipas will play his first Grand Slam under the tutelage of new coach Goran Ivanisevic, formerly responsible for training Novak Djokovic.
The Greek 26-year-old, who was in action at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club, said of his new mentor: 'He's been great. He's a great human being and I feel like our relationship has strengthened and become much better than what I would have expected it to be.
'I will obviously focus on the training and all of the procedures that are necessary for me to improve, and I'll make sure to get to know him better, be curious around him and ask him advice outside of all the tennis too because I feel like he can help me with so much experience that he has gained over the course of his career.
'I think the best thing that Goran has kind of stated and made clear is that he's not coaching Novak Djokovic right now and we're kind of starting from scratch.
'He's coaching me in a way as if I just started playing tennis, which is a great thing because it's very down to earth and a very humbling experience as a player to get to experience that.
'There are no expectations, obviously he doesn't expect me to, from tomorrow, start winning Grand Slams one after the other like Novak.
'Every small success that I manage to achieve with him, it doesn't have to be a huge, but every small success is a huge success.'

'I worked at Wimbledon for 40 years - now a machine has taken my job'
Hundreds of line judges have effectively been made redundant after Wimbledon became the latest Grand Slam to adopt electronic line calling. The move, which was described as 'inevitable' by bosses at the All England Club, means this year's Wimbledon will be the first in its 148-year history without line judges. Spectators have become accustomed to seeing line judges surround courts wearing navy jackets, pinstriped shirts and white trousers or skirts. For well over 100 years they have shouted 'out' and 'fault' to assist chair umpires but the sight and sounds of line judges is now a thing of a past at SW19. Line judge Wendy Smith was 'gutted' when she found out about the development, which brought an abrupt end to over 40 years of service to Wimbledon. 'When I heard the tournament was replacing us line judges with electronic line calling, I was gutted,' said Smith, who first worked at Wimbledon in 1982. Smith understands the desire from players and fans for 'consistency' but believes a charming aspect of Wimbledon will be 'lost' now line judges have been ditched. She also bemoaned the fact the decision was not announced until after last year's Championships, depriving line judges of a chance to 'say goodbye'. Speaking to The Guardian, Wendy added: 'I imagine the All England Club has made this decision because the players want the consistency of computerised decisions – though several of them didn't like Hawk-Eye at all when it came in. 'But there's so much that a human line judge does that a computer just can't offer. We certainly keep up tennis's traditions – I think we make the court look fully dressed. 'The time is right for us to move on. 'We absolutely value the commitment that those line umpires have provided to the Championships over many years. 'And we do have a significant number of them coming back in a new role as match assistants, so we're really pleased to have many of them still involved with delivering the championships. 'I think they — and I wouldn't speak for them individually — probably recognise that with the evolution of the technology and the consistent change across many of the other tournaments that this is probably inevitable. 'So I think for many of them they had expected this change to come along and for those that will be joining us for the Championships in the match assistant role obviously they're delighted still to be part of delivering the Championships.' Sally Bolton, chief executive of the All England Lawn Tennis Club 'And spectators can learn a lot about the game when they can see the discussions between a line judge and the chair umpire. All of that will be lost. 'I'm not saying we never make mistakes – we're human, after all. But we hold ourselves to a very high standard. 'It's sad to think that I won't get to stand on Centre Court again. And I wish they could have told us before last year's tournament so that we'd have a chance to say goodbye. 'I'll always love tennis, but I don't think I could bear to go to Wimbledon now as a spectator. It just wouldn't have the same atmosphere.' After the move was announced, AELTC chief executive Sally Bolton said: 'The decision to introduce Live Electronic Line Calling at The Championships was made following a significant period of consideration and consultation. 'Having reviewed the results of the testing undertaken at The Championships last year, we consider the technology to be sufficiently robust and the time is right to take this important step in seeking maximum accuracy in our officiating. 'For the players, it will offer them the same conditions they have played under at a number of other events on tour. 'We take our responsibility to balance tradition and innovation at Wimbledon very seriously. 'Line umpires have played a central role in our officiating set-up at The Championships for many decades and we recognise their valuable contribution and thank them for their commitment and service.' Ahead of Wimbledon 2025, Bolton said the development was 'inevitable' and that is was the 'right time to move on'. The ATP uses electronic line calling across all of its events and the technology is in place for a number of WTA tournaments. Wimbledon is the third Grand Slam to ditch line judges in favour of ELC following the Australian Open, in 2011, and the US Open, in 2022. The French Open still uses line judges and have said they intend to maintain that tradition going forward. 'I think we are right to keep our referees and line judges at Roland Garros,' said Gilles Moretton, president of the French Tennis Federation (FFT). 'The federation wants to keep our referees for as long as we can. I hope we'll be able to maintain it in our tournaments in the future.' More Trending Despite the introduction of ELC technology, there will still be 80 'match assistants' at Wimbledon assigned to matches in every court. They will support the umpires and will resume their role as line judges if the technology goes down. Malgorzata Grzyb, chair of the Association of British Tennis Officials, told BBC Sport: 'There is a bit of sadness of course – it is the end of a tradition at Wimbledon, but it is something we anticipated. 'We have watched the developments in major tennis events around the world – two of the Grand Slam tournaments already use electronic line calling. I think this was inevitable it was going to happen.'

Jadon Sancho sends three-word transfer message as Man Utd negotiations continue
Chelsea paid £5million to send Jadon Sancho back to Manchester United after an unconvincing loan spell and he's once again being touted for a transfer move this summer Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho has sent a message to ex-team-mate Paul Pogba after he completed a long-awaited move to Monaco. Pogba, who left United in 2022, has joined the Ligue 1 side to end his two-year absence from football, having been banned for 18 months because of a doping offence. The Frenchman has signed a two-year deal with Monaco, having had his contract with Juventus terminated midway through his suspension. Sancho, 25, could follow Pogba in finding a new club this summer, as he appears to have no long-term future at Old Trafford. Chelsea opted not to sign him permanently following an unconvincing loan spell, scoring five goals and laying on eight assists in 41 appearances. The Blues even paid United a £5million penalty fee in order to avoid having to go through with their £25m obligation to buy him at the end of last season. The winger is due to return for pre-season training next month at Carrington, where he'll work under Ruben Amorim ahead of their tour of the USA. In the meantime, Sancho is on holiday and had time to send Pogba a message. On Instagram, his former team-mate had shared an image himself in a Monaco shirt. Sancho reposted the snap and wrote: "PP is back," alongside cold face and red heart emojis. As for Sancho's future, Italian giants Juventus and and Turkish heavyweights Fenerbahce have reportedly shown interest. Negotiations were scheduled to take place last week, with his £300,000-a-week wages a sticking point. Sancho signed for United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2021, as the Red Devils forked out £73m to end a year-long pursuit of the England international. But he's failed to impress under multiple United managers, most notably Erik ten Hag, who was replaced by Amorim after Sancho had joined Chelsea. Which club should sign Jadon Sancho? Let us know your pick in the comments section. Mirror Football reported earlier this month that the Red Devils boss has no plans to reintegrate Sancho. Reports elsewhere have suggested that United would be willing to sell the 25-year-old for just £17m. Sancho is one of four attackers who the Old Trafford hierarchy are hoping to sell during the summer transfer window. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony also aren't part of Amorim's long-term plans, although United are yet to find a buyer for any of the quartet.
