Zverev: “Ferrer has exceeded all my expectations training me”

In 2020, one of the most surprising moves in tennis was the signing of David Ferrer as coach of Alexander Zverev. The German had the Alicante to test for fifteen days and, after the good feelings found, both decided to extend their agreement for the remainder of the season.

Zverev is in New York, where he finally decided to go after many doubts, to play the Cincinnati Masters 1,000 and then the U.S Open. In the preview of the tournament, the German commented on his impressions of the first month working with Ferrer. “It's exactly the same as on the court. I can't ask for more. He was known to be the largest competitor in the world. It is exceeding all the expectations I had. Working with David is great. So far it is one of the best partnerships I have had. Our personalities are similar, we get along very well and during the European tour he will be there. Unfortunately, he couldn't come to New York, but I'm excited for what awaits us “declared an excited Zverev.

Ferrer is not in the Big Apple bubble since his agreement with Zverev limits the European tour. Despite this, the German confesses to having learned a lot in recent weeks. “We met eight times, he knows what I need to improve. He came with a notebook and told me what was good and what was not, it is extremely organized. He's doing whatever it takes to improve my game, that's something very special. I am enjoying it and I have loved every second so far “, sentenced the world number seven, who will face Andy Murray in his first match at the Cincinnati Masters 1,000.
