David Ferrer Leaving Alexander Zverev’s Team Is a ‘Shame’, Says Boris Becker

It was quite a shocking moment when Alexander Zverev decided to part ways with his coach, David Ferrer. What really astonished the fans was that the decision came right before the Australian Open 2021. The two were really close together and were enjoying each other’s company. However, fans will no longer see the pair working together.

Recently, tennis legend and Novak Djokovic’s former coach, Boris Becker, reacted on the issue. He highlighted that Alexander Zverev and David Ferrer had great chemistry, and it is a shame that they have parted ways.

“I think it’s a shame that Ferrer no longer trains him. The two seem to have found a good chemistry, which is shown by their success on the field,” said Becker in a recent interview.

The legend reflected that two enjoyed great success on the field as well. He also said that Zverev suffered a lot personally last year, but that would help him in growing up.

“A lot has happened for Sascha in the last year, both athletically and privately. Sporty it was maybe his best, privately maybe the most difficult. That’s what life is called growing up,” added the former World No.1.
