A relaxed round golf with icon Roger Federer, chic group photos in front of the famous Golden Gate Bridge and the best atmosphere in training with high -flyer Carlos Alcaraz: Alexander Zverev looks solved in San Francisco. In the circle of tennis top stars at the Laver Cup, the most recently stumbling German number one feels good-and hopes for fresh inspiration for the end of the year.
“It’s one of the most fun weeks and I think everyone will enjoy it,” said Zverev. The show event is not about any world ranking points, the 28-year-old can play freely. And possibly bring back a piece of lightness that he had noticeably lost.
Zverev looking for old strength
After the final at the Australian Open, Zverev followed a quarter-finals in Paris for Zverev in the Grand Slam year, a first-round bankruptcy in Wimbledon and most recently the early third round ko in New York-apart from the majorfe, where he continued to be waiting for his debut title, he achieved a tournament victory in Munich and a final participation in Stuttgart. The bottom line is that the Hamburger has not yet met its own high demands.
He had recently complained about the US Open: “I played too passively because I had nothing in the racket in the entire tournament,” Zverev had recently sued the US Open. ” The self -image of impossible until the decisive phase of the big events has lost a bit. It would be all the more important to maintain self -confidence in the final sprint of the season.

There are also enough options for this. Among other things, at the ATP finals in Turin in November, where the eight best of the year argue about the crown. The subsequent final round of the Davis Cup could also be a chance for Zverev – however, in contrast to the Laver Cup, he had hardly given any space in his calendar in recent years.

Zverev has not yet announced whether he will open for the DTB selection in Bologna. He is currently enjoying the rigidity at the Laver Cup, which, in addition to an entry fee in the victory of his team, could also bring him $ 250,000. (dpa/pmk)
