Alexander Zverev is looking for his shape. Long -term cooperation with a former clay court specialist should help him.
At first glance, the hope that Alexander Zverev is supposed to lead Alexander Zverev was hard to find out, it was so full on the Munich training ground. Zverev's girlfriend Sophia banned on the bench, Mama Irina tried to keep family dog junior under control - and the rest of the entourage was looking for proximity to the boss. Sergi Bruguera is supposed to fulfill the central role in the Olympic champion team.
"I need a coach, I need leadership," said Zverev in Madrid before the next attempt to turn his messed up so far. With Bruguera, the former Sandwühler from Spain, with which Zverev has been traveling around the world for a few weeks now, it should continue to continue "for a very long time". He thinks Bruguera "To be one of the best", for one with the necessary attention for "what is going on on the pitch".
Since "six or seven months," said Zverev, he has been on the road alone without a permanent coach. His father Alexander Senior, who had led him to the top of the world, has not been at tournaments for a long time, sometimes it was said for health reasons, Zverev said something in Madrid, the head of the family had to "take care of other things". So he relies on external help, not for the first time - but hopefully this time successful.
Juan Carlos Ferrero and David Ferrer, two other Spanish ex-professionals were already at the side of the world ranking in third. Both laid down the job, the reasons remained unclear, but at least Ferrero showed through that he did not always agree to the Hamburg's work. Now the next attempt with Bruguera, who knows how Grand Slam title will be won.
"bottomless": Zverev fails early in Munich
In 1993 and 1994 he triumphed in Roland Garros, as a coach he led his country to the Davis Cup victory in 2019. In the German number one team, he has to get involved with family dynamics, because so far Zverev has always been the strongest in the circle of his loved ones, surrounded by Brother Mischa and the ubiquitous parents. In Munich it was part of Bruguera's tasks to play Mother Irina a few balls on the backhand, which was previously so feared.
In Madrid, attention should be back on the family star, on Sascha Zverev (25). The idea of Munich, which he himself described as "bottomless", the terrifying start-off, the next disappointment of a title that has so far had to be processed. Until his first match, the defending champion still has time to work intensively with Bruguera. After a freewyle, Zverev meets either Marin Cilic (Croatia) or Albert Ramos (Spain).
