WATCH: Alexander Zverev spotted training under Boris Becker’s supervision in Monte Carlo amid speculation of coaching partnership
Alexander Zverev was recently spotted training under the watchful eye of tennis legend Boris Becker in Monte Carlo, adding fuel to growing speculation about a potential coaching partnership between the two.
In a video circulating online, Zverev can be seen practicing while Becker observes closely—an image that has sparked plenty of chatter within the tennis world. While no official announcement has been made, fans and analysts alike are wondering whether a formal collaboration is on the horizon.
Becker Questions Zverev’s Mental Game
Boris Becker, never one to hold back, recently weighed in on what he believes is Zverev’s biggest hurdle: his mindset.
“I always start with it—with the mental attitude,” Becker said. “He’s not as convinced of himself at the moment as he was in Melbourne or at the end of last year. Can you train something like that?”
Becker continued, emphasizing that Zverev’s self-belief could be the key to his success—or his downfall.
“That’s something he has to look at—who can take him further, who can help him there. Because ultimately, for me, that’s the difference between victory and defeat with him at the moment.”
A New Chapter for Zverev?
The German star has had a rollercoaster couple of years, with strong showings tempered by inconsistency. While his talent is unquestioned, many experts believe a mental edge is what’s missing in his pursuit of Grand Slam glory.
Becker, with his championship pedigree and sharp tennis mind, could be just the mentor Zverev needs.
As of now, the nature of their training relationship remains unofficial. But if this Monte Carlo session is any indication, Zverev might be laying the groundwork for a new phase in his career—with a tennis legend in his corner.
