Honest in his statements, Alexander Zverev confesses the true relationship he has with his father, who also serves as the coach of the current world number 4. Sascha, already in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2024, explains in a press conference how he stays firm regarding his goals, in addition to analyzing his upcoming match in the New York Grand Slam where he faces Taylor Fritz.

About having his brother and father as coaches

"Off the court, I don't spend much time with my father, so that is a starting point. We have enough of each other on the court. We are all adults, we all have a family. We all know how having a family works. I like it because the family is always close by, maybe that way you don't miss home as much. I think it depends on how your relationship is on and off the court.

I know there are certain players who have their father as a coach, and the relationship is toxic, with many fights, arguments, and things that are not healthy. I have to say that is not the case for us at all. We understand each other off the court when we step out, and on the court, it's about training, it's about improving. It's working well, I am the number 4 in the world."

His goals

"The injury didn't help in 2022. I think I was very close to becoming the number 1 in the world at that stage, only mathematically and in terms of points. Then I couldn't play for seven months, so obviously it was a big blow, but I am still very motivated. I still want to achieve some of my dreams, some of my goals. I am happy with the level of tennis I am playing. I am happy where I am, especially after the injury."

Upcoming match with Taylor Fritz

"In the past, we had some very good matches and also very tough battles, especially at Wimbledon, I think it was a good encounter. I wasn't 100% healthy; I couldn't move as I wanted, but still, it was a good match. Obviously, another tough battle awaits me. We are in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. I believe from now on there will be no easy matches."
