Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev, like basketball world champion Dennis Schröder, could very well imagine carrying the German flag at next year’s Summer Games in Paris.
“Paris is a huge goal for me, especially because of Tokyo. To possibly be the flag bearer there, that would be something special,” the 26-year-old Hamburg native said in an interview with Eurosport. “To be there in Paris, to play for gold again, that’s a big dream that I hope will come true for me. “
Zverev became the first German tennis pro to win gold in singles at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. The basketball players around the outstanding captain Schröder had secured the World Cup title for the first time in history in September and thus also the Olympic ticket. Afterwards, the NBA pro told Bild: “I have to carry the flag! If not now, when? It would be a great honor for me. “
