Tennis Channel recently shared an Instagram video titled “American Numerals Challenge” with the caption “How many of these would you get right?”. The lighthearted challenge featured several ATP and WTA players attempting to answer questions involving Roman numerals.
Among the ATP stars included in the video were Casper Ruud, Tommy Paul, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Ben Shelton, and Learner Tien. Several WTA players also participated in the challenge video.
The women’s lineup included Iva Jovic, Victoria Mboko, Mirra Andreeva, Eva Lys, and Hailey Baptiste. The clip was designed as a fun social media segment featuring player personalities away from the court.

Zverev himself did appear in the video twice. His face first appeared during the introduction sequence and later during a section where players were asked to write the number 10 in Roman numerals. The German answered correctly with “X”.
Despite getting the answer right, Zverev became irritated after noticing that his successful response was barely featured. The World No. 3 publicly questioned why his correct moments often seemed to disappear from Tennis Channel content.
“Just a random question @tennischannel why do I do all of these games and all these promotion activities with you guys but then every time I get something right I get cut out of every single one? Just asking if you’re just interested in wasting my time or just hope that I get something wrong so you can then put that in? I know you have players that you love to hate on and players that you love. so just please stop wasting my time then. Thank you,” he commented.
