Boris Becker has told Alexander Zverev he is “on his side” after clarifying his recent criticism of the world No 3.
In the aftermath of Zverev’s French Open quarter-final defeat to Novak Djokovic, tennis icon Becker and former WTA Tour star Barbara Rittner were critical of the 28-year-old and his coaching set-up.
Becker, a six-time Grand Slam winner, claimed that Zverev had to replace his father, Alexander Sr, and brother, Mischa, as his coaches if he wanted to win an elusive major title.
