ATP: Zverev: If a coach, then only Becker or Lendl

Alexander Zverev still sees no need to work with a “super” trainer. “I am satisfied with the team I have,” emphasized Germany’s best tennis pro before the start of the ATP tournament in Munich (April 30 to May 6).

At the same time, the third in the world rankings on Sunday said that of the possible candidates Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl were “the only ones to be considered”.

After the separation from Juan Carlos Ferrero from Spain after the Australian Open, Zverev will again be looked after exclusively by his father Alexander. An additional prominent coach is only one topic for him, “if I have problems”, but “I don’t see them at the moment”, said Zverev. But Becker and Lendl are “the only two people I get along with outside the square”. The same applies to his father.

Zverev is the defending champion and number one at the BMW Open. Next Wednesday he will start into the 561,345 Euro tournament at the MTTC Iphitos. After a walk-through in the first round, his opponent in the round of 16 will be Yannick Hanfmann from Karlsruhe or Marcos Baghdatis (Cyprus).
