Alexander Zverev was criticized by Becker recently saying the German has only himself to blame for his lack of Grand Slam success.

Alexander Zverev crashed out of Wimbledon by losing to Felix Auger-Aliassime after which Boris Becker criticized the German number one for his lack of Grand Slam success. Becker said:

"The main culprit of Sascha's losses in the Grand Slams is only himself. He should understand why he has to correct his mistakes, he continually makes these mistakes and in difficult phases, he tends to remain passive, he stays behind the field waiting for the opponent's mistakes."
