Alexander Zverev expressed annoyance at the reaction to him becoming the men's world No. 1 in the ATP rankings, shortly before losing at the Paris Masters on Wednesday.
The German player ascended to the top spot following the latest rankings update, but his tenure began with a defeat at the ATP 1000 event in Paris. Zverev did not elaborate on the specific nature of the reaction that irked him.
The loss on Wednesday marked his first match as the new world No. 1. Further details about the match or his comments were not immediately available.
