"This was the time for him to say 'I'll put myself in there'"- Tennis fans unamused with Alexander Zverev's comments on which star has the biggest ego

In a recent interview, several ATP players, including the likes of Andrey Rublev, Alexander Zverev, and Felix Auger-Aliassime, among others answered "who has the biggest ego."

During the ongoing ABN Amro Open (ATP Rotterdam Open), the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas, Hubert Hurkacz, Grigor Dimitrov, Rublev, Zverev, Auger-Aliassime, and Stan Wawrinka featured in an interview.

The official social media account shared a glimpse of their interview with the group of players.

"This is is the stuff we really want to know. Spit it out guys, who has the biggest ego? #abnamroopen," the caption read.

When asked about, "who has the biggest ego?", the players came up with a different set of answers, and while some of them named their choices, some decided to keep mum.

However, fans were particularly unhappy with German professional Alexander Zverev's response. The German thought for a second and named Auger-Aliassime as his choice.

"Maybe Felix?," Zverev said.

Soon after the video was uploaded, tennis fans reacted to Alexander Zverev's reply and called him out for not "naming himself."

"This was the time for him to say “I’ll put myself in there” let’s be real."

One Twitter user was surprised to hear the German naming Auger-Aliassime.

"Zverev's answer is Felix?!? Put yourself in there WTF."

Another Twitter user pointed out that the former US Open finalist was lying in the video.

"zverev lying out his teeth per usual useless man."

One tennis fan called the former World No. 2 a "rat."

"The one time 🐀 should've definitely said "I'd put myself in there maybe", he said Felix lmao."
