So, do you reckon that he will remain without a high-profile coach in the near future?
Much less criminal to wreck Zverev's backhand than to wreck Roddick's forehand.
IIRC he doesn't want to travel. Doesn't want to be away from home for so long. He's got a young family, his business interests and ****, he doesn't need it, I don't see him doing it.
The forehand just looks off to me but I can never put my finger on it.
They all achieved #1 status in the 80's; Murray barely able to scratch his way to the top for about 5 minutes! It's not comparable!
I agree. Same with Osaka.
!!
I agree. Fed plays too much backcourt tennis against the best players, especially Nadal and Novak. Yes, I know he was super close to winning Wimbledon, but he needs to come in more. It is not to his advantage to play baseline games against those two for too long, they are younger and have better ground strokes....Federer still hung back too much as far as I'm concerned! I see this as the reason he loses to Nadovic; thinking he can tame and defend from the baseline! He's been able to accomplish it a few times, but mostly it's a colossal failure with him dropping matches to them with a point or 2 to win! It was impressive how both Fedovic were whacking the ball from the 1st rally of the match! I personally would have had Roger come in a bit more; Nole not passing that well! He had a couple near the end, but that was happenstance with Roger coming into the net more on a bluff! Roger volleys exceptionally well, but drags matches out with better players by not attacking as much as he could! There are enough short balls to pound into a corner to approach the forecourt with impunity on grass; even now! If passed, you say "good shot," but continue to apply pressure! Stan and Murray did it their way, but their groundies were consistent enough for them to just outlast Nole a handful of times in those major finals lost to them!
Is there a version where he just punches the kid?
Washington didn't wanna pay the appearance fee. Hamburg is an even softer tournament. He desperately needs points for the race.

We're talking about a 22 year old grown adult man here... it is not Ivan's job to help him "mature." That's Zverev's own responsibility!
I had not heard that. I refuse to belong to any club but ABZ definitely has the right ideal.
His career is going nowhere and in 5 years he will be all but forgotten.
Love the ad. Very funny.And even had I been a fan of Zedrot (which I never, ever, ever was), once he criticized Lendl, he's dead to me.
Being German, what choice does he have? It would be a huge slap in the face to all concerned who's supported him from a pup! Even Djokovic played the Serbia Open when he probably should have been resting for Madrid, Rome, and Paris!
It’s a load to play those two 500’s back to back on different surfaces on different continents immediately prior to the remainder of the USO Series so in effect it’s a “one or the other” scenario. I think Zed played both one year but it was after losing 1R in Hamburg.
