Becker soon to be Zverev coach?

“I have enjoyed talking to him and his father a lot about tennis for years. I like him," said Becker at a media event at the ATP Finals in London: "We'll have to wait and see whether anything will come of it."

At Zverev's request, Becker will serve as team captain of the German team in January at the newly created ATP Cup, a week-long national competition in Australia. “It’s an honor that Sascha asked me,” said the 51-year-old. Zverev recently announced in an interview with Sport Bild that he wanted to hold talks with Becker about a possible expansion of the collaboration.

Becker sees the ATP Cup positively Becker finds the top-class new tournament at the start of the year to be an enrichment. “There is no better way for the top players to start a season than playing against the best,” he said: “This format gives players the opportunity to represent their country and start the year with a bang. “

The tournament competes with the new Davis Cup final tournament, which will be held in Madrid next week. Zverev canceled his participation there early on, originally citing his vacation. However, the 22-year-old will now contest several exhibition fights against Roger Federer in South America at the end of November.
