‘Not true!’– Alexander Zverev denies criticising Grand Slam legend
World second Alexander Zverev has actually refuted that he criticised previous train Ivan Lendl a brief time after they divided in 2019.
Zverev has not constantly had a smooth training background, and previous Grand Slam legend Lendl is a person he dealt with for a year beginning in August 2018.
He was priced quote by Die Welt in the Autumn of 2019 criticising Lendl, affirming he did not get the Czech’s complete interest throughout practice.
“Sometimes we go to the training ground,” Zverev is declared to have actually stated in the meeting. “Training lasts two hours. For half an hour he stands with his back to me and tells me how he played golf that morning.
“He’s got a new dog and is showing him how to go to the toilet. That’s really his main topic. And golf.”
However, he has actually currently firmly insisted the remarks were ‘not true’– or at the very least they were not brand-new.
It was triggered by some information resources incorrectly declaring they were fresh quotes and reporting them today, and the Zverev required to social media sites to assert they are merely the job of reporters having a hard time for web content throughout the tennis off- period.
“So, apparently I gave an interview about my coaching relationship with Ivan Lendl recently, which is not true.
“In fact, I have not spoken to anyone from the press since my foundation event in Tannenhof one day after Turin and I have not made any comments about my coaching relationship with Ivan Lendl in more than five years.
“I understand that everybody is very bored right now because it is the off-season and not much is happening except a lot of hard work, but this shows once again that some stories have to be completely made up by very bad journalism to keep readers interested in made up drama…
“See u all soon in Australia.”
