ATP: Becker ennobles Zverev:”The Best of the Successor Generation”.

Germany’s tennis icon Boris Becker (49) trusts Hamburg’s Alexander Zverev to succeed Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal as world tennis dominators.

“Sascha Zverev is by nature the best of the next generation,”said the Head of Men’s Tennis in the German Tennis Association (DTB) to the Sport-Bild:”But everything can still go wrong.You have to win something first – and winning means: Grand Slams.”

However, the three-time Wimbledon winner Becker believes that 20-year-old Zverev will have to wait a little longer because the dominant players of the last decade, 36-year-old Federer and Nadal (31) are “another league.Top 5 among all sports stars worldwide.It’s comparable to Messi and Ronaldo.”

Becker doesn’t blame the world number four for Zverev’s cancellation of his participation in the Davis Cup relegation duel in Portugal in mid-September.However, Leimener does not consider the manager Patricio Apey’s decision to be well advised:”He underestimates the German sports market and the German media:” Especially in Germany, local stars would be seen as “very critical”, he knows from his own experience:”They are closely observed as they represent their country in the national team or at the Olympics.I know from Sascha that he’s a patriot and actually likes to play in the Davis Cup.”
