Former players like Becker and Petkovic express their opinions on the German player's tennis and emotional state before his participation in the Davis Cup finals.
Andrea Petkovic
As one of the directors of WTA Berlin 2025, Andrea Petkovic wants everything to go perfectly. The former star of the women's circuit, who now works as a presenter, analyst, and also within the German tournament, harshly criticized the WTA organization on her social media channels, explaining how a tremendously interesting interview with Wang Xinyu, a surprise finalist in the tournament, was terribly wasted by her social media team. She accused the WTA team of being unable to 'sell' the different personalities that prevail in women's tennis to the public.
"I was in charge of conducting the post-match interviews and had the pleasure of chatting with Wang Xinyu. She was funny, witty, smart, with better jokes than the successful comedians on Netflix. However, the WTA posted an edited clip on their social media that made her sound like any other player. All her personality and humor were left out, edited. These things make me terribly angry, as the unique and distinctive personalities of each player are what make tennis so special. Showing these personalities to the world, so that all fans can see them, is what should be done, not leaving them out." Will there be a response from the WTA?

Several weeks have passed since Jannik Sinner reclaimed the Australian Open, where Alexander Zverev once again floundered in his attempt to become a Grand Slam champion. What is the German missing to make that leap? Andrea Petkovic, former world top 10 player and compatriot of the German, shared her opinion in a recent podcast with Boris Becker.
"I don't think Sascha's issue is psychological because if he had that problem, how could he have reached World No. 2? He has everything necessary to achieve a great victory; I am convinced he has the mental strength for that win, along with all the shots. The question is whether he truly believes in it. He will have to solve that problem, but I am optimistic and convinced that he will achieve it sooner or later," stated Andrea.
