Alexander Zverev has earned a well-deserved vacation after two intense months, but ones he will never forget. First, freeing himself from all his fears and nightmares by winning his first Grand Slam on the clay courts of Roland Garros. And then reaching his first final at Wimbledon, playing his best tennis on grass and challenging Jannik Sinner in the final. He couldn't lift the trophy in London, but his improvement, both on the tennis court and mentally, is undeniable.

To celebrate this new version of himself, and before heading to North America to start the hard court season, where his chances of winning the US Open have significantly increased, the Hamburger has chosen the island of Mallorca to unwind from these past weeks. But he did so, no more and no less, than with Rafa Nadal. The German and the Spanish player shared an afternoon on a boat and at sea, as one of Zverev's friends posted on social media.
Now it's vacation time 🛥️🌊

This is not the first time the German has been seen in Mallorca. Exactly a year ago, he was spotted training at the Rafa Nadal Academy with Toni Nadal and under Rafa's supervision. The German sought help after confessing to going through one of the worst moments of his life. Both the coach and the former player gave their insights on what was happening, as later revealed by all three parties.
It remains to be seen if the new world number two will visit the Balearic academy again or if, on the contrary, he has only traveled for vacation and to unwind before continuing to display his best version at the US Open.
