The couldn’t go good. A man with the self-confidence of Ivan Lendl doesn’t like to criticize, and not at all from a player who has not reached his goals. Also of Alexander Zverev not.
Let’s start with the Positive: The ATP Rothenbaum tournament, Alexander Zverev will be celebrated just by the Tennis Fans. Against the Serb Filip Krajinovic he had on Friday a good chance to make it into the semi-finals of the competition to collect. Hamburg Zverevs of birth city, to the extent that successes have here for him a special meaning, even if he is found long ago in Monte Carlo. Successes, Zverev this year at the Grand Slam tournaments was not able to achieve in Melbourne, Paris and Wimbledon. Because it really matters.
The Coach on the feet stepped
The 22 has made-Year-old last with themes that have only to do indirectly with sporting success or failure. The most recent message: Ivan Lendl is no longer the Coach of the German Topspielers. According to consistent Reports, the Online portals tennisworldusa.org and tennis.com the eight-time Grand Slam winner Lendl ended the cooperation with the Hamburger. A kind of Return, because the player had entered the Coach, last pretty on the feet.
At the start of the European season in April, Lendl had been on the side of Zverev missing. An Allergy prevented the Connecticut living Lendl supposedly to make the trip. Different then in London: Wimbledon, the coach was not, however, had to remain for a long time: as we know, his protege, was allowed to leave after the first-round loss against Jiri Vesely. He did not, however, without its Star coach, nor is it a serious word spoken.
Of dogs and Golf balls
“Sometimes we go to the tennis court, you train for two hours, and a half-hour, he stands with his back to me and told how he played in the Morning before Golf,” said Zverev in Hamburg. Also, Lendl got a new dog, to whom he dedicate a lot of time. “I told him that he should concentrate its focus more on Tennis.”

Now Lendl has made in his sports career so many successes that already in the times as a top players level of self-awareness is not likely to be become thinner. As a Coach, he led the fickle Scots Andy Murray to three Grand Slam Victories and to the top of the world rankings. The dogs and passion for Golf, Lendl’s is known, of the need, as a coach need to earn money, you heard less and less.
Rather fatherly
And although Zverevs is likely to have triggered a Declaration in the five fold father Lendl resentment, was the statement of the 59-Year-olds in the U.S. portals, according to a rather fatherly indulgent. “I believe very much in the Sasha, is still very young. I think that he will one day be a great player. But currently he has some problems off the court that make it difficult to work in a way that corresponds to my philosophy”, is Lendl quotes.
Already Lendl (right) even played, so here, after a Match in 1981 against Bjorn Borg, was in the Czechoslovakia-born and now living in the USA athletes as a proud and self-confident
Some of the problems outside the square: in order for Lendl to play to the dispute, the Zverev with his Ex-Manager, Patricio Apey’s carrying. Here, the player had cut the connection, and from London, acting sports Manager, had followed cooling to the courts. It is likely to go to a veritable million amount. As in most cases, in the Tennis Business, now.
Now, as we Heard, will take on Alexander Zverev Senior again is the Training of his gifted son. In London, the father was not in front of the place, supposedly, the wire was between him and Lendl for the best.
If it then goes to the Hamburg tournament in the United States, to prepare for the end of August, the beginning of the US Open, you can think about Zverev Junior for a second Time, as he wants to close the gap to the real Top Elite-consisting of the Trio of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Because that is the self-formulated claim. Helps operation, the return to the family? Currently, the distance is more than Zverev for a winning Five-set Match would have to run.
