Zverev does not have fond memories of Lendl coach
With the Czech as coach, he won the Finals
.
Zverev is looking forward to the new season. The year 2025, for the German, must be the year of consecration. At 27, è looking for his first Slam (two finals lost) and, perhaps, a third Finals win, won in 2018 and 2021. The first time with Lendl as coach.
The relationship between the two è broke down in 2019 with the German certainly not having fond memories of the former world No. 1: "He had gotten a new dog and showed him how to go to the bathroom-that was his main interest. And golf…", his clear words to the German Tennis Magazine portal.
Zverev, after confessing how David Ferrer was the only coach to bring him up, explained what he is looking for now: "It has to be the right person. Now he won't take anyone just because others think it's right. I’ve done it, tried different things but only one person really helped me a lot".
To make the final leap forward, the German is looking for a coach who can bring out the best in himself. Could it be Becker? " I love him and I think he has a great knowledge of tennis. Forò I donò t know how and how far he can travel: è the’only question mark. When he’s resolved that, we can talk about it. We are always in touch and talk often. In Australia he will go with the usual team, then we will see.
