Zverev attacks Becker and Rittner: Your criticism is wrong!

After leaving the French Open quarter -finals, Alexander Zverev has practiced sharp criticism of the former tennis players Boris Becker and Barbara Rittner. In a press conference in Stuttgart, Zverev turned directly against Becker's advice to change his environment in order to be more successful at Grand Slams. "If things go well for me, I always do everything right when things go badly, everyone is always very, very clever," he said his dissatisfaction with the supposed advice.

Zverev, who is respectful of Becker, emphasized that he does not always match his opinions. He sees Becker's criticism, who had addressed his passivity and recommended a change of coach, as a "dispute topic". Zverev also did not agree with Barbara Rittner's comment on his explanations regarding the game conditions that he had used for his departure. "First of all, I don't take her opinion seriously and secondly she has a wrong opinion in my eyes," said Zverev about the former German Fed Cup captain.

criticism of opinions and the view of the future

While Zverev became clear to both personal opinions, he made it clear that he continues to see himself in the top of the world and is able to compete against top players like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. "I am not taking the opinion of Rittner seriously. I have lost Djokovic and not against 'Hans-Peter'", quotes him .

After the competition in Paris, the player spent a few days in Mallorca to relax in golf games before preparing himself for his next match in Stuttgart, where he had a free -range and is expected to play on Thursday. Despite the heated discussion about his performance and the associated criticism, Zverev remains optimistic and focused on his career.

A team of experts, including athletic trainers and sports psychologists, is often necessary to prepare the players for their challenges as best as possible. Mental topics such as emotion regulation, criticism and concentration are essential for success in tennis. In this context, it is important that Zverev also takes the mental aspects of its performance seriously. After all, not only the technology is crucial, but also the spiritual constitution on the pitch while preparing for the next challenge in his career.
