Alexander Zverev says he has been "annoyed" by the reaction to him becoming world number one.

The German, 29, claims he is the only tennis player who "has to explain why it's OK" for him to be top of the rankings.

Zverev lost to Italy's Lorenzo Musetti at the Paris Masters on Wednesday - his first match since becoming the ATP Tour's number one for the first time.
