Alexander Zverev has had a turbulent season, filled with both successes and less successful moments. The German tennis player has been open about the mental challenges he faces, but also about his sometimes lack of motivation on the tennis courts.
Of course, his statements have produced reactions, primarily from famous tennis figures, such as Boris Becker, who pointed out that he gets a bit of a headache when he thinks about Zverev.
The German tennis player did not stay silent about such statements, saying that Boris is looking for attention by talking about him.
Becker made these statements during a podcast hosted by former tennis star Andrea Petkovic.
Petkovic was the one who spoke about the disagreements between Zverev and Becker in an interview with Eurosport Germany.
Petkovic believes that Boris Becker did not have negative intentions when talking about Zverev, saying that he has always been empathetic towards Sascha Zverev.
Andrea Petkovic criticizes Alexander Zverev's decisions
The German tennis player of Bosnian roots emphasizes that she has a slightly different view than Boris Becker, and seems to distance herself from Becker's position.
Petkovic was also critical of Zverev, noting he made a lot of mistakes, primarily related to the tournament schedule. She believes that he was not fully ready during this season and that he will have to analyze the tournaments behind him.
Petkovic hopes that the 28-year-old will adjust his schedule, considering that there are serious challenges ahead of him and that he is no longer a teenager who has yet to step into the world of professionals.
